2. Click “Login with Google” and enter your CCSD Gmail and password. (Use the same password you use for your Gmail and Google Drive account)

3. Once you are logged into Clever, click on the red Canvas icon to access your course(s) in Canvas.  It is red with a white circular design.

Your classes will be on your dashboard on the first day of school. If they are not, please contact your counselor or submit an NVLA Support Ticket.

It is highly recommended that you bookmark clever.ccsd.net so you can find your classes with ease throughout the term.

Your classes are in a learning management system called Canvas.  To get to Canvas,  follow the steps below.

1. Log in to Clever at https://clever.ccsd.net  (For the best results, please use Chrome, which is required for some applications such as Honorlock)

2. Click “Login with Google” and enter your CCSD Gmail and password. (Use the same password you use for your Gmail and Google Drive account)

3. Once you are logged into Clever, click on the red Canvas icon to access your course(s) in Canvas.  It is red with a white circular design.

Your classes will be on your dashboard on the first day of school. If they are not, please contact your counselor or submit an NVLA Support Ticket.

It is highly recommended that you bookmark clever.ccsd.net so you can find your classes with ease throughout the term.

Courses will open on the first day of class.  If it is the first day of class or later and you cannot access your online course, click on the "Course" icon on the far left side of the screen, then choose "All Courses." If you are still unable to see your course, verify that you are enrolled in the course on Infinite Campus and contact NVLA at (702) 799-NVLA immediately. 

Make sure you are using the correct password, you do not have your caps lock on, and you are logging in to the correct site (for example, for Canvas it must say CCSD in the login window.)  

There is a temporary suspension of password resets from off campus locations. Until further notice, students must be on a CCSD campus and on the school Wi-Fi to reset passwords. You may need to come to the NVLA school building to reset your password during the school day. Please call first to ensure someone is available to help you get connected. (702) 799-6852.

If your password is still not working or you don't remember it go to Myaccount.ccsd.net. Choose "Forgot my Password."  Be prepared for a couple of random questions to verify your identity. You may find it helpful to have Infinite Campus open to find answers you may have forgotten.

Click this document if you need further instructions or images to help.

Please call the CCSD Tech Support at (702) 799-3300 if you are unable to set your password successfully or have been locked out of your account.

*Never reset your Gmail, Google Chrome, Infinite Campus, or Canvas password anywhere except through myaccount.ccsd.net or Tech Support!

To learn more about Canvas, you can visit the Canvas Student Guide at https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10701-canvas-student-guide-table-of-contents. 

Parents and guardians can sign up as an observer in Canvas.

Observers can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment due dates, announcements, and other course content.  They can also view the actual assignment(s) submitted by their student and view any comments left with the assignment(s) by the teacher.

Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course. 

To get an Observer account in Canvas your student will first need to generate a pairing code. While logged in to Canvas, the student will need to click on their avatar in the top left corner. Then, click on "Settings" and on the right side of the screen click on "Pair with Observer." This will generate a pairing code that the parent /guardian will need when setting up their account.

The parent will then go to ccsd.instructure.com and click on "Parents Get Accounts Too" and complete the sign up process.  Once the parent has completed this process, they no longer need a paring code to log in. 

This video will walk you through the process and will also show you how you can link more than one student to the same observer.  https://youtu.be/C_rmYEiN5CA

*If you are a CCSD Employee, your login is your AD and AD Password.  You do not need to sign up, you are already a part of the Canvas Community.

Once you generate a pairing code it can only be used one time and is only good for 7 days.

If it is expired or you need one for another parent or guardian, you must generate an additional code from the student's account. 

Some parents have found that they need to reset a pairing code if their first one is not working. It is okay to do this. There have been reports of parents that have had to generate 3-4 pairing codes to find one that worked. If you do this and none seem to work, call CCSD support at 702-799-3300. 

To generate a pairing code, the student will need to click on their avatar in the top left corner. Then, click on "Settings" and on the right side of the screen click on "Pair with Observer." This will generate a pairing code that the parent /guardian will need when setting up their account.

*If you are a CCSD Employee, your login is your AD and AD Password.  You do not need to sign up, you are already a part of the Canvas Community. You will need the pairing code however. Once you are logged in, you will go to "Settings", click "Pair with Observer" and then input the pairing code. 

This video will show you how a parent or guardian can create an account in Canvas to see a student's due dates, grades, and progress in the course. https://youtu.be/C_rmYEiN5CA

You can reset your observer account password on the sign in page at ccsd.instructure.com. Click on "Trouble Logging In?" Parents will scroll to the bottom to reset their password. 

If you are a CCSD Employee, your login is your AD and AD Password.  You do not need to sign up, you are already a part of the Canvas Community.

Absolutely.  You will only use one of the codes when you create your account. To add the other child you will click on your Avatar and then choose "Observing." This will take you to a screen where you can enter more pairing codes so you can observe all of your students using the Canvas LMS. This is covered in this video.  https://youtu.be/C_rmYEiN5CA 

You can ask your student's teacher to look on the people page. They will be able to see if you are an observer on your student's account. You can also submit an NVLA support ticket.
