Canvas is a web-based learning management system that is being used by Cassville schools.  You will use Canvas to look at your students' courses.  You will be able to see class announcements, missing assignments, and current grades.

 

How do I sign up for a Canvas account as a parent?

 

Parents can sign up as an observer in Canvas. Observers can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment dues dates, announcements, grades and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course. 

Before you sign up for a parent account you will need a Pair with Observer code from your student.

Your student will need to click on their account Canvas icon

Click on the Settings button
