    You will need your student’s computer log in to access Canvas.  Your student’s username is the first five letters of your student’s last name, first three letters of your student’s first name.  For example, a student named Mickey Mouse would have the username mousemic.  If your student does not have 5 letters in their last name, it would be their entire last name and first three letters of their first name.  For example, John Doe’s user name would be doejoh.  Your student’s password is the student ID (the number they use to purchase lunch and check out library books).  If you need this information please do not hesitate to contact the school.
