Canvas is a Learning Management System (LMS) designed to simplify teaching and learning by connecting all the digital tools teachers use in one easy place. The Canvas Parent app allows parents to engage in their children’s education by providing access to important class information.

With the Canvas Parent app, 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 (final grade reported in Pinnacle).

With the Canvas Parent app, 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.

The Canvas Parent app flyer  or video shows the easy steps available for parents using iOS or Android devices and can easily be configured in just a few minutes.
