Families

Canvas is a Learning Management System, which is an online space for teachers to create, organize, deliver, and manage their courses. The platform also supports student-to-student and student-to-teacher communication and collaboration. Parents and guardians have the ability to access much of which is included in their children’s Canvas courses.

Below, parents and guardians will find resources to help access, navigate, and understand their access within Canvas. Please select the links below to view additional information and tips for each topic.

NOTE: While Canvas includes a grade book, it is not the official or complete VBCPS grade book. Instead, the grade book of record is available via the Grade Book tab in Parent Portal and ParentVue.
