Canvas Observer Accounts

Canvas Observer Accounts

What is a Canvas Observer account?

The Neenah Joint School District has transitioned from Schoology to Canvas as our Learning Management System. We encourage you to create a Parent Observer account to follow along with your student’s coursework and assignment due dates. As in the past, final grades and attendance will be posted in Infinite Campus.

I have a personal Gmail account.

I do not have a personal Gmail account, but I have a Yahoo, AOL, Outlook, Apple, or another account.
