Canvas

Canvas is Elkhart’s Learning Management System (LMS) where teachers and student can communicate digitally. Teachers can post assignments, facilitate discussions, share resources and communicate important information to students. Students can turn in assignments, access digital resources needed for class, take quizzes and participate in classroom discussions. All students in middle school and high school have Canvas accounts. Think of Canvas as a digital classroom!
