Canvas is the Learning Management System (LMS) that Muenster ISD uses to provide online and blended learning opportunities.  All students have a Canvas account.  If a teacher has course content in Canvas, the student will automatically have access to the class on their Canvas Dashboard.  If a parent would like to be a parent observer in a Canvas course, please contact Carol Cook, carol.cook@muensterisd.org.    

What’s an LMS? An LMS is a web-based software application that delivers instruction in an online format. Students can work through content anywhere by simply logging on from a computer or mobile device. Instructors can administer, differentiate and manage instructional content, assess and identify individual learning needs, track student progress, and report student growth.
