WELCOME TO THE 2020-2021 SCHOOL YEAR

The Grandview C-4 School District will utilize the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS) to deliver and support all virtual instruction in all K-12 distance and blended learning environments starting in the 2020-2021 school year. Canvas is a powerful tool that allows teachers to create virtual classrooms and learning spaces that ensure students are provided with engaging, interactive, and flexible virtual learning spaces.
