Canvas
Canvas is the online learning platform used by Banks County Schools to support student success for grades 3-12. Through Canvas, teachers can share assignments, resources, grades, and announcements with students. Parents can also use the Canvas Parent App to stay connected by viewing assignments, course calendars, grades, and teacher updates in real time. Canvas helps families partner with teachers to monitor progress and stay engaged in learning throughout the school year.
