Canvas Learning Platform: Your Digital Classroom Hub

 

Canvas is the secure, online learning platform that serves as the central, one-stop hub for all classroom content, assignments, and digital resources at BART Charter Public School.

 

Canvas provides a flexible, powerful learning environment for our students and allows parents to engage directly with classroom progress in real time. This online platform is being used by all schools in the Berkshire district, so new students to BART will have varying experience already using this tool. Parents may request access to see what is happening in real-time in the classroom.
