Canvas Parent Observer Access

We would highly encourage you, if you have not already, to become a parent observer on your child’s Canvas account. You have access to all your child’s classes. This was a big reason Canvas was chosen as the Learning Management System for distance learning: parents can see grades and assignments.

Here is how to become an “observer” on Canvas. This will allow you to access your child’s Canvas site to monitor grades and assignments.

To become a parent observer in Canvas- follow these steps:

1) Have your student get a pairing code for you from their account by following these instructions: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Student-Guide/How-do-I-generate-a-pairing-code-for-an-observer-as-a-student/ta-p/418?fbclid=IwAR38--jgjg8HOjOG_i2J9vDy-piZ4jVcYGT0iVWbxNjc1epq8V7Iialb1u8

2) Go to : https://conejousd.instructure.com/login/canvas

3) In the upper right corner click on the login for parents.

4) Enter your name, email, password and the pairing code you get from your student or teacher. (Note: the pairing code can only be used once, so if two parents want to have their own separate accounts a second pairing code must be generated after the first one is used)

• If you have more than one child in CVUSD then follow these instructions to add additional students: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Observer-Guide/How-do-I-link-a-student-to-my-user-account-as-an-observer/ta-p/539​
