Our Technology Department is actively working with the Canvas LMS and Instructure teams to better understand the current situation. Until the vendor resolves this issue, course materials and general Canvas LMS access will be unavailable.
Please do not log in or access your account until an official district communication is shared with staff, Grades 5-12 students and families noting next steps.
