[ARCHIVED] So how do I see my daughter’s work and assignments as an observer? Or become an observer?

Hi @Chris62 -

First, you'll need to find the log-in screen for your daughter's school. Usually, there's a link on that screen to create an account. However, there is a chance that the school/district has a different system in place. How do I sign up for a Canvas account as a parent? 

Then, you'll need a pairing code! How do I generate a pairing code for an observer as a student? 

Once you're logged in, there are a few ways to see achievement, but I like the look of the grades page. How do I view the Grades page for a student as an observer? 

Then, I encourage you to look at the Canvas Parent app. What is the Canvas Parent app? It's a free app that you can use with the same credentials you created for the browser. It's a streamlined version of all the important items you need to coach academics when away from a computer or larger screen. How do I view a QR code to log in to the Canvas mobile apps as an observer?
