Skyward
One of the biggest changes you will experience moving into Middle School is that your child is moving from having one teacher with about 25 students they are responsible for, to six teachers who are responsible for about 100 students or more. Skyward becomes a critical tool for teachers to communicate with families/students about missing work, grades, and overall progress at the middle school level.

Canvas is a learning management system where teachers house their agendas for the week, the assignments students will access, and resources the students may need.
