Canvas Bookmarks
In an effort to streamline the Canvas login process for Students, Staff, Parents, and Observers, Canvas links will now redirect to a new login page. This page will direct you to the Student, Staff and Parent/Observer logins. This change took place on Wednesday, January 13th, and will affect you if you use a bookmarked link to access Canvas. If you navigate to Canvas from Clever, it will not affect you.
Learning how to be a good digital citizen is a very important life skill. PUSD has partnered with Common Sense Education to prepare our students in becoming 21st century learners. Below, you will find engaging lessons for your students, and a link to resources for parents/guardians.
Please visit our Digital Citizenship Canvas Course for videos and activities by grade level in English and Spanish.
