Communication with Parents
Parent Information
These three programs are distinct companies and provide different information but overlap in several areas. This page will help to explain the similarities and differences.
- PowerSchool: This program is student-based and keeps track of schedules, report cards (6-12), student demographic information and state reporting requirements.
- Canvas: This program is learning-focused and keeps track of assignments, quizzes/tests, teacher resources, and student calendar of due dates. To learn more, visit the Canvas informational website.
- SchoolMessenger: This program focuses on mass-communication for the district. School messenger sends phone calls, emails, and instant messages to keep students and parents informed of various events within the district.
Helpful Hints:
Please look through the PDF below to see how the three main programs relate to each other.
If you want to create a PowerSchool Parent Portal, please email Steve Noyes with the names of your students.
