Canvas is a tool teachers use to post assignments, tests, notes, and announcements. Each teacher at Bishop Neumann uses the system differently and to varying degrees.

How do I sign up for a Canvas account as a parent? – Instructure Community

You will need a pairing code to access your student’s Canvas account. Because Canvas is primarily designed for colleges, this is currently the only way to access your student’s information. Ask your student to generate a pairing code for you; the code will expire after seven days.

Bishop Neumann High School does not have a designated drop-off and pick-up line for students who are not driving themselves or riding the bus. Families may drop students off along Linden Street or pull into the south parking lot to allow students to exit the vehicle.

Please be aware that morning traffic can become very congested. Use caution, and remind your student to be aware of their surroundings, especially if they need to cross a street.

For the safest drop-off option, we recommend approaching the school by traveling south on Elm Street east of the school, turning west onto C Street, and then heading north onto Linden Street. This route allows students to enter the building without needing to cross the street.

We encourage parents or transportation arranged by parents to park in the south or west parking lots and communicate with their student ahead of time regarding the pick-up location.

Please do not park along any of the surrounding streets, as this can create congestion and safety concerns. Additional parking is also available north of the school near the convent.

No. Transportation is provided by Bishop Neumann for all school-sponsored away activities and athletic events.

Please note that transportation may not be provided for some home events held at off-campus locations, such as Hackberry Park, since these are considered home venues rather than away events. Coaches or activity sponsors will communicate any transportation arrangements for these events in advance.

No. Bus transportation is not provided for practices held at Bishop Neumann or other Saunders Catholic Schools facilities for Bishop Neumann activities or athletics. Bus transportation is available only immediately after school and for travel to and from away activities and athletic events.
