<p><b>Will this email contain our user id and password?  </b><span style="font-weight:400;">No.  Instead, it will contain directions for creating an account that is tied to your child&#8217;s account. </span></p>
<p><b>What is Canvas?</b><span style="font-weight:400;"><br />
</span><span style="font-weight:400;">Canvas is a learning management system where we store digital resources for our classes.  </span></p>
<p><b>What can I expect to see in Canvas?</b></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;">If your child is in PBLN (Project Based Learning Network) classrooms in grades 7 thru 12, Canvas provides a list of their assignments and projects.  </span><span style="font-weight:400;">The PBLN gradebooks in Canvas communicate learning in relation to project- and problem-based learning outcomes and course standards. The actual letter grade earned to represent this learning will be communicated in Infinite Campus at various points throughout each grading period.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight:400;">If your child is NOT in PBLN, Canvas provides a location where teachers store digital resources and some assignments &#8211; but their gradebook is stored in Infinite Campus, not Canvas.</span></li>
</ul>
