Canvas for Parents

All Cherokee County Schools use the Canvas learning management system for digital as well as in school instruction. It allows students, teachers, and parents to access course content, assignments and grades.


Students learn how to access/use Canvas at school. Their teachers will provide them with their login information. It can also be accessed from home by students and/or parents.

Parents need to create a Parent Account and pair their account with their student’s account. Here are some brief tutorials to help parents get familiarized with Canvas.

Having trouble with Canvas?

If you are having difficulty accessing Canvas, please note the following:

  • You need internet connection with a strong signal to access Canvas at home. If you are able to get on the internet at home but are not able to load Canvas, try locating and moving to a different spot in the house with a stronger signal.

  • Make sure you are using a Canvas compatible browser - Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.

  • Use the appropriate username/password format to log into Canvas. See below for more info.
