Canvas for Parents at Mount Vernon

To stay informed about your child's activities in Canvas, you can create a parent observer account. It's best to use a computer instead of a mobile device for this process. Follow these steps to link your account to your child's, and you can use this observer account to keep track of your child's progress throughout their time at WCPSS.
