ROISD Canvas Parent Account
ROISD uses the Canvas Learning Management system as an online tool for teachers and students to communicate, post information, create and submit assignments, and much more for grades 3-12. Parents can create an "Observer" account to view what is happening in their child's Canvas courses. Please note Skyward is the official gradebook for a cumulative class average. Although Canvas does allow for assignments with grades, students are also completing work in class in a variety of modes that contribute to the overall student class average in Skyward.
How will students access Canvas?
ROISD technology creates student Canvas accounts and loads their classes onto their account prior to the first day of school. Students access Canvas by using ClassLink and their network login credentials. Students then choose the Canvas icon on their ClassLink dashboard.
