    In today's K–12 classrooms, learning doesn't just happen in textbooks. It’s driven by data, digital tools, and seamless technology. SchoolDay has built powerful integrations with Canvas by Instructure, one of the most widely used learning management systems (LMS) in education today. With automatic user provisioning, secure single sign-on (SSO), real-time grade sync, and a foundation built on LTI 1.3 and proprietary APIs, SchoolDay builds on the strengths of Canvas to deliver an experience that's even more efficient, intuitive, and responsive. The result? A fully connected experience that empowers educators, simplifies IT management, and brings deeper insights into student wellbeing and performance.

    Simplifying Digital Learning with Seamless Canvas Integration

    As K–12 schools continue to invest in modern learning environments, technology integration is more critical than ever. But managing multiple platforms, each with its own sign-on, data set, and user experience, can create challenges for IT teams and educators alike. That’s why SchoolDay is building smart, seamless connections with the tools schools already rely on.

    Through direct integration with Canvas, SchoolDay helps districts unify their digital ecosystem, making it easier to manage users, streamline learning experiences, and ensure data flows securely between systems. From automatic user provisioning to single sign-on (SSO) and real-time grade synchronization, SchoolDay’s connection with Canvas supports the day-to-day needs of K–12 educators, students, and administrators—all while upholding the highest standards for data privacy and system interoperability.

    One Login, One Experience: SSO and User Provisioning

    SchoolDay supports single sign-on (SSO) for Canvas users, enabling students and educators to access their learning environment with one secure set of credentials. This means less time spent resetting passwords and more time focused on teaching and learning. Behind the scenes, SchoolDay also automates user provisioning using Canvas’s proprietary APIs and standard protocols like LTI 1.3.

    As new students enroll or roles change, SchoolDay ensures that user accounts are created and updated automatically. This reduces IT workload, keeps rosters accurate, and ensures a smooth, consistent experience across platforms. Whether it's the first day of school or mid-semester adjustments, integrating SchoolDay with Canvas helps keep your district's systems all in sync.

    Grade Sync and Performance Insights

    When it comes to student performance, timely and accurate data is essential, but not at the cost of student data privacy. SchoolDay’s integration with Canvas provides a secure, private data exchange that safeguards the Personally Identifiable Information of students, educators, and staff across K-12 educational institutions. SchoolDay implements robust security measures, including data encryption, role-based access control, and comprehensive audit logs, while strictly complying with data protection regulations such as FERPA.

    Built on Standards, Designed for Scale

    SchoolDay’s Canvas integrations are powered by both proprietary APIs and LTI 1.3, the latest Learning Tools Interoperability standard. This ensures secure, reliable, and future-proof connections that support a wide range of use cases—from launching third-party apps within Canvas to exchanging data across systems without compromising user privacy.

    Because both SchoolDay and Instructure adhere to open interoperability standards and security best practices, districts can implement SchoolDay with confidence. And for those with complex environments or evolving needs, SchoolDay’s flexible architecture allows for custom integrations that align with district-specific goals, policies, and workflows.

    Empowering K–12 Districts with Connected Insights

    With Canvas LMS at the center of instruction and SchoolDay orchestrating secure, real-time connections across your digital ecosystem, districts gain a more unified, efficient, and data-informed approach to learning. Teachers get a simplified, intuitive experience. Students benefit from smoother access and support. IT leaders enjoy reduced manual work and improved security. And administrators gain clearer insights to drive better decisions.

    SchoolDay’s integration with Canvas is just one example of how working together can help districts unlock the full potential of their existing tools, making digital learning more seamless, more secure, and more impactful.
