Dear Parents & Students,

Garfield 16 has recently announced that Canvas, a modern and innovative Learning Management System, will replace Empower beginning in August 2023.

What is Canvas?

Canvas is a Learning Management System (LMS) that allows teachers to provide instructional

support, class calendars, assignments, and resources for students in a safe online environment.

For traditional face-to-face classes, Canvas is an integral part of sharing blended classroom instruction.

Canvas Use

The District hopes that this resource will provide you with specific information about your student’s

curricula, so you have a better understanding of the work that teachers and students are doing.

We hope you use this information to communicate to students that the skills and content identified

in these courses are important to master.

What is the Parent/Guardian Observer Role in Canvas?

Observers have limited permissions that allow them to see what is going on in a course and a

calendar of assignments. Like students, Observers cannot view a course until it is published and

the course has started. For assistance with Assignments, Test Dates, Quizzes, or other Canvas course content, please contact your student’s teacher.

Learn more by visiting the Canvas Observer/Parent Guides. Haga clic aquí para español.

Below are the features available to Parents. Please note that not all courses use all features.
