An assignment is marked missing when the due date has passed and an assignment has not been submitted. It may also be marked missing if the assignment was submitted on paper and the teacher has not changed the status.
Parents see the same content as the student but cannot interact with an assignment, it is all view only. Parents will also not have the ability to use the integrated technology. Parents can access any course their student is enrolled in by clicking on the course card (from the Canvas dashboard), or by using the courses menu. See details in the link to the PDF at right.
If you would like to contact your student's teacher, e-mail the teacher using their SSFS e-mail address.
