Central Carolina Academy will use Canvas as its learning management system.  What is Canvas? 

(Please note that PowerSchool is the school's official Student Information System and that final grades that appear in Canvas may not reflect the official grade which is recorded in PowerSchool.  In regard to grades, parents should only use Canvas to see individual assignment/task grades and teacher comments. A PowerSchool Parent Portal Account is needed to access a student’s PowerSchool information. To request a Parent Portal Account, CLICK HERE.)
