LaptopCourse Creation

Teachers in Canyons School District do not create their own core courses. Initial course creation is managed by the IT Department through a sync with Skyward.

Missing a course? Submit a ticket to IT for help (footprints@canyonsdistrict.org) or call the IT Help Desk (801-826-5544).

Missing a student from your course? New students should be uploaded within 48 hours of registering with CSD. If you still have problems, talk to your school secretary. She/he can double check that the student was registered correctly and is active in all the correct courses in Skyward. Still not seeing your student? Submit a ticket to IT for help (footprints@canyonsdistrict.org) or call the IT Help Desk (801-826-5544).
