EEM Families:
Now that both our virtual and onsite students have begun using the Canvas Learning Management System, it's time for parents to create an Observer account in Canvas. With an Observer account, you can track your student's learning progress and receive messages from his/her teachers. To get started, you will first need to log into your student's account. If your student does not know his/her account information, please call our front office. Tap on the parent video below for step-by-step instructions.

Students can access Canvas at http://sheridanschools.instructure.com/login/saml and log in with their school Google account username and password from the previous school year.
