Bio:
I started using Canvas and became a Canvas admin for K-12 in 2015 when I was the Computing Services Coordinator for a local school district. In the summer of 2019, I transitioned to an Academic Technology Specialist focusing on Canvas for Higher Ed. Since 2008 and prior to Canvas, I used Angel, Blackboard, and My Big Campus.

@kristen_statt I would highly recommend you (or if you admins have blocked it, have them help) add those IEP students to a Section in the course.  Students can be in more than one section so you can h...
