Canvas
Students use Canvas to communicate with teachers, to find the materials used in classes, and to keep track of assignments and grades.
Here are some very helpful materials to help navigate Canvas. The videos were created by our Prospect Assistant Principal, Ms. Chen. Please note, the videos were created prior to distance learning so references to distance learning at the start of the recording can be ignored.
