From here, you will have your student login with their school email and password.  To locate the school email, go to your child's Skyward account.  The password is the first initials of their first name and the first initial of their last name (Both should be capitalized).  Followed by their Student ID # also located in Skyward.  

If you do not have your Skyward login information,  enter their email address and click forgot password or login and it will email them.  If they do not get that em

ail, they can then email me directly.

Email skywardaccess@lcscmail.com if they need their username and password.  Email should include student name, grade, school and the parent's name.

Once in Canvas, students should then access the calendar on the far left hand side. You should be able to see anything due on the calendar. Students can also access assignments by clicking the teacher's homepage icon on the desk top and then selecting the red Assignments/Assessment tabs. There are other resources and useful material in the other buttons on the teacher's home screen.
