Quite a few Learning Coaches prefer to log in to the student's Canvas account and do not use the Observer account very often. This is especially true for Learning Coaches of our youngest students. However, it is important that you are familiar with (and use) the Missing Submissions report, which is unique to your account in that particular format.

In addition, your Canvas messages are very important. Please do not rely upon messages in your child's Canvas Inbox.

Teachers, counselors, and administrators occasionally send messages to the Learning Coach only. Unless you set up your notifications to receive Canvas notifications in your personal email account, you will miss those Learning Coach-only communications if you are only reading messages in the student's account.
Canvas notifications can land in your Spam or Junk folder. This can cause you to miss deadlines or critical communications from the school about your child's performance.
If you set up your notifications for weekly or no delivery to your personal email account, you will not be informed in a timely manner. Your Canvas Inbox receives the messages instantly.
So, use your Observer account. Run the Missing Submissions report daily, and check your Canvas Inbox several times per week for messages if you plan to rely upon Canvas notifications in your personal email account the majority of the time. Just delete the messages that you read in your personal email account previously. (Deleting messages in your personal email's Inbox has no effect on the Canvas Inbox.)

NOTES:
NOTES:
It is very important that our students have an opportunity to read messages from their teachers. If you choose to read messages in the student's Canvas Inbox, please mark the message unread so that your child knows a teacher sent a message.
This note is especially true for students in grades 3-12. Hold your child accountable for reading teachers' communications.
It is also important for our lower elementary students to know their teachers are sending them messages. Learning Coaches of students in lower elementary grades (K-2) are asked to assist the student in reading the teacher's message.
If the you did not create the Canvas Observer account, you are asked to return to that page to create the Observer (i.e., Learning Coach) account before proceeding. By this point in your training, teachers have attempted to send Canvas messages to their new Learning Coaches.
