Tech Support

Canvas is UCFSD's Learning Management System or LMS. It’s an organizational framework for students to interact with teachers and courses, all in one place. Students will be able to login to Canvas from the high school website and see all their courses, assignments, announcements and a calendar. NOTE: PowerSchool will still be the place of record for all course grades.

Students use their campus login to access Canvas and should stop by the tech office (room 245) if they are having difficulties logging in.

Parents may also sign up for a Canvas "Observer" account. Parents (Observers) can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment dues dates, announcements, and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course.

To sign up for a Parent Account:

1. Visit the UCFSD Canvas page at ucfsd.instructure.com/login/canvas
2. At the top of the login box, locate "Click Parent of a Canvas User? Click Here For an Account"
3. You will need to provide your name, your email address as well as your child's username and password
4. Click Start Participating and follow the instructions.
