Welcome to Canvas 101 for Parents and Guardians!

Welcome to

Dublin Unified School District's Learning Management System

This short introduction is designed to provide parents and guardians with both an introduction to the purpose of a learning management system (LMS) and the details related to their ability to 'co-enroll' in a course as an Observer in order to track their students' progress.

DUSD teachers and staff value and encourage the participation of all stakeholders in ensuring high levels of student learning, including the vital involvement of parents and guardians, especially during this unprecedented time of distance learning.
