  Canvas Parent Observer Account 

As a parent or guardian, you can create an observer account to be able to see what your child is working on in class and the assignments that are due. You can add multiple students to your parent observer account. With this account, you cannot submit assignments or participate in the class activities.  You will need your student to login to Canvas to assist you in this set up process.
