Important message from Davidson County Schools:
We have just been notified that Canvas is down worldwide due to a recent cyberattack. Out of precaution, DCS has removed Canvas accessibility from our ClassLink account. Please do not attempt to access Canvas at this time. For our eLearn students – please understand that this means you will be unable to access your coursework until further notice. Unfortunately, there is no timeline for when this issue will be resolved. We know this is an inconvenience for students and staff but know that our students will not be penalized during this outage.
We will communicate more once we have more information. All updates regarding the Canvas cyberattack will be shared through our district website.
