Canvas Elementary Subject Set Up

[oneilllj]

I am researching how to best set up Canvas Elementary for use with our Primary Years students (Years 5-6).

I have recently discovered that I should be able to set up subjects within the homeroom page - however, I cannot find a way to link the subjects to the homeroom page.

Does anyone have an updated version of how to set up Canvas Elementary?

Thanks

Hello @oneilllj 

Here's a couple resources that should be helpful. This first one is kind of an overview but it has a download link for the Canvas K-5 Toolkit that should be helpful:

Here is the FAQ with a lot of great links with how it works, how to set it up, etc.

Hopefully this helps!

@oneilllj If you already have subjects created that you want to link with a particular homeroom you can do that by selecting the option to sync the enrollments and dates with the Homeroom in the subjects Course Settings.  If there is more than one Homeroom available, it will allow the desired homeroom to be selected.  More information can be found in How do I sync enrollments and subject start and end dates from the homeroom as an instructor?
