Important Notice: Canvas and Aspire Sync Update
Canvas recently experienced a security breach, and while the full details are still being reviewed, San Juan School District is taking proactive steps to protect student data.
As a precaution, the district has temporarily paused the automatic sharing of information between Canvas and Aspire until required security updates can be completed.
What students should do:
✅ Continue using Canvas as usual
✅ Complete and submit assignments in Canvas
✅ Check grades and feedback directly in Canvas
During this time:
New students may not appear in Canvas immediately
Grades from Canvas may not transfer to Aspire right away
No student work or grades are lost
This temporary pause allows us to update security protections and ensure student information remains safe. Once updates are completed, syncing will resume automatically.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prioritize the safety of student data.
