Spartan Learning Portal's Canvas Parent Observer Account

  • The Spartan Learning Portal is the electronic learning management system used by teachers and students at Garden Spot High School and Middle School. Canvas by Instructure is the name of the company that administers the Spartan Learning Portal for the Elanco School District. Teachers will utilize this system to make learning resources available to students, as well as to post homework and class announcements.
  • Parents have the ability to create their own “observer” account that provides access to all of their child’s courses so they can see assignment due dates, announcements, and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course.
  • The directions in the PDF below or the video below will show parents how to sign up for a parent observer account, link their account to their student(s), and setup their notifications.

Parent Observer Role

  • This Canvas Parent Observer Guides describe the online course permissions for parents enrolled as observers, provide information about the parent mobile app, and can answer other questions.
