Families can view their student's course content and progress by creating a Canvas Observer Account. If you have multiple students, you can link all your students under a single Observer account.
First, your student must first log in to Canvas on a computer (not a mobile device) and generate a pairing code. View a tutorial of how to generate a code for a parent observer account.
The student must be enrolled in courses before you can sign up to observe the student. (Wait until after the first day of school.)
Once you have the pairing code, you can create your account. Go to https://wcpss.instructure.com/login/canvas and click the link Click Here for an Account.
If you have multiple students, follow these directions for Linking Multiple Students to an Observer Account.
When using the Parent App (iOS and Android), search for Wake County Public Schools (NC) - Parents
As an observer, you will have limited permissions that allow you to see what is going on in a course without interrupting or participating in the course. You can:
See the calendar
See the modules page
View course announcements
Preview documents in course pages
See Quiz titles
See Canvas grades and assignment due dates
