Canvas is used throughout Washington State in K-12 schools as well as technical schools, community colleges and major universities.

Staff, students and parents use their IDs or login names and their computer/LMS password. Students can complete assignment within Canvas or link from their school Office 365 or EPS Google Drive accounts.

Ask your teachers if they use Canvas in their classroom.
