Canvas Parent Accounts

Thank you for your interest in setting up a Canvas Observer Account.

Accounts will be created for Ed Rights holders (parents and guardians), therefore a pairing code is not required. Student Canvas accounts will be activated once school starts.

Following the student account activation, parent accounts will be linked to their prospective student account. You will receive instructions and login information.

The Canvas Observer Account and Parent App allows parents to:

View a summary of all current overall grades for courses
View course calendars and assignment deadlines
View assignment details and submissions
View course and school announcements
Email Teachers
