Did you create your Observer account earlier in this section of the course? If not, please click to return to the page where the Observer account is created. (We recommend bookmarking this page before you click. That way you can return quickly.)
Is your Observer account paired with all of the students that you are coaching? If not, please click to return to the page where the Observer account is created and paired with the student's account. (If you need to create your account, be sure to return to this page -- "Log in to the Observer Account" -- to continue your training. We recommend bookmarking this page before you click. That way you can return quickly.)
Although it is not the best viewing option, you are able to log in to Canvas on a mobile device using a browser if you do not have access to a computer. However, it is not recommended that you use the Canvas Parent app to login to your Observer account the first time. The instructions on the next page are for a browser interface. They will not work with the app. If you are without access to a computer or tablet, please use your mobile device's browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari, or Edge) to log in. Everything should appear as it does on a computer.
Follow the steps below to login to Canvas.

3. The LOGIN menu will expand as shown.
Click "CANVAS Parent Login" from the LOGIN dropdown menu. (See the red arrows in the two screenshots.)
4. In the "Email" field (circled in the screenshot), enter the personal email address that you provided as your contact address when you registered your child.
5. Enter the password that you selected for your account.

After you select your password, wait a minute or so. Then return to the Canvas login window, and complete the login process using your email address and the password that you requested.
Click the "Login" button.
