    • For Elective Courses including: FACS, PhyEd, STEM, Computer Science

     

    Parent recommendations for accessing / monitoring

    • As a parent you may want to limit your focus to the calendar due dates and any feedback that your student may receive.
    • Success is found when a student logs into the platform and has a conversation around the learning. This builds student ownership and increases parent understanding of the context.
    • Note: Parent account access does not provide access to all Google documents due to privacy and copyright restrictions.  If you would like to view your student’s progress on a specific document please have your student sign into the platform to show you his/her work.

      

Create Your Parent Account

  • When you sign up for a parent account in Canvas, it gives you access to see:

    • Student assignments and calendar
    • Student Feedback/Progress

    You will need a pairing code from your student's account to create your parent account.
