Canvas Parent Observer

Follow

Parents can sign up as an observer in Canvas. Observers can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see assignment due dates, announcements, and other course content. Observers can view the course content but cannot participate in the course. 

Begin by going to the District Canvas site.  Open any browser and go to https://sjsdcanvas.instructure.com/

At the login screen select - Click Here for an Account in the upper right corner.

Enter the following information:

  1. Enter your name in the Your Name field.
  2. Enter your email in the Your Email field.
  3. Enter your password in the Password field.
  4. Re-enter your password in the Re-enter Password field.
  5. Enter a paring code to link your account to your student in the Student Pairing Code field.
  6. Agree to the terms of use by clicking the You agree to the terms of use checkbox.
  7. Confirm that you are not a robot by completing the Captcha form (if enabled by your student's school).
  8. Click the Start Participating button.

Note: Students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings.  If your student is unable to generate a pairing code - contact the helpdesk at 816-671-4444 to have a code generated for you.
