The best way to stay connected with what's going on in your student's classes is to connect to Canvas. Below are instructions on how to connect to your student's Canvas through a parent account.

As a side note, the parent side of Canvas is quite limited, and teachers have no access to what parents can see and what they cannot. So if you have any questions about what you see or do not see in Canvas, please reach out to Mrs. Smith (or the teacher of the class you have questions about). I always advise parents to use the online version of the Canvas Parent Portal rather than the app, which you can access at wasatch.instructure.com

I do recommend staying involved on Canvas on your student's account on their own iPads as often as you are on your parent account. Everything is posted on Canvas, including daily lessons, assignments, and instructions. Students are responsible for learning the content regardless of attendance, which is why resources are kept in Canvas, where they can find everything they need to stay academically on track. They can also find extra math practice resources to help them with any concepts learned this school year.

For more details on how I utilize Canvas to facilitate learning in 6th grade math, see the "Course Navigation" link in Canvas on the home page of our Canvas course. This includes how assignments, grades, daily lessons and notes, etc. all work and are made accessible to students in and out of school.
