Parents & Guardians can sign up to have an observer account in Canvas and have their very own app: Canvas Parent.Observers can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment dues dates, announcements, and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course.Use these instructions to create your observer account for accessing Canvas as a Parent!
Note: Students need to create a pairing code for observers to link their account.
