Canvas

Canvas is the new learning management system (LMS) that CCPS students and teachers are using in 2021-2022 to support face-to-face instruction and deliver remote instruction. Canvas streamlines all the digital tools and content that teachers and students love, for a simpler and more connected learning experience. 

Parent Access

To access Canvas, parents can use the Canvas Parent App to create a Canvas Observer Account. The Canvas Parent app allows parents to engage in their children's education by providing access to important class information.

Please see THIS DOCUMENT as a resource for parents on accessing Parent Observer Accounts.

With the Canvas Observer account, parents CAN:

 *View the list of courses where their students are enrolled. For each course, parents can see syllabus, assignments (title, due date, and instructions) and events.

*Set alerts to view course announcements and/or receive reminders for a specific assignment or event (sent to mobile devices as push notifications).

*Monitor their child’s performance on Canvas assignments (official grade reported in Infinite Campus).

With the Canvas Observer account, parents CANNOT:

*Submit assignments, participate in discussions or take quizzes on their child’s behalf.

* Access course content (files, pages, other students’ work, etc.)

* Participate in the course in any way.
