Canvas
Canvas is our PUSD Learning Management System (LMS) and will continue to be available in the upcoming year.
- If you would like to transfer information from last year's courses into your future courses, please check out the videos on How to View Past Enrollments and How to Import Content Into a Sandbox.
- Courses for next year will not be available until closer to the beginning of the 2021-22 school year, so if you get started on setting up courses early, you will need to create the courses in a Sandbox.

- Closed captions will be available for all users
- Updates to layout features
- Full screen view in the browser app so Chromebook users will have a maximized view
