Parents

To access Canvas, parents can use the Canvas Parent App to create a Canvas Observer Account. The Canvas Parent app allows parents to engage in their children's education by providing access to important class information. 

Please see the document to the right as a resource for parents on accessing Parent Observer Accounts.

With the Canvas Observer account, parents CAN

• View the list of courses where their students are enrolled. For each course, parents can see syllabus, assignments (title, due date, and instructions) and events. 

• Set alerts to view course announcements and/or receive reminders for a specific assignment or event (sent to mobile devices as push notifications). 

• Monitor their child’s performance on Canvas assignments (official grade reported in Infinite Campus). 

With the Canvas Observer account, parents CANNOT

• Submit assignments, participate in discussions or take quizzes on their child’s behalf.

• Access course content (files, pages, other students’ work, etc.)

• Participate in the course in any way.
