At Trottier we use Canvas as our learning management system. Teachers will post announcements, resources, & assignments in Canvas; students are able to view the announcements, complete and submit assignments, participate in asynchronous discussion boards, and keep track of their assignments and grades.
Parents/guardians are able to observe their child's Canvas courses with parent login credentials. If you are in need of login credentials, please contact the school.
-
Trottier uses PowerSchool as a means for parents to complete and submit annual forms and permissions, as a portal from which parents and students are able to view report cards, and is the tool we utilize to schedule and maintain attendance records for our students.
If you have not received login access codes or need help creating an account, please contact the school.
