I am the parent and have multiple students that use canvas. I try to follow all their grades and submitted assignments. I have noticed that I can view their grades all bunched together in an unorganized order, however it also shows grades from previous years. Therefore I have to search and try to separate 3 individual students that each have 6-8 classes.
But when my students log into their canvas they can see the grade in each of their class in the top left corner of the class on their dashboard page. Is there a way that Us parents can have this view also. It would make being able to have a quick glance at their grade so much easier and accessible. I do like how we are able to color coordinate and name each child's classes as well as group them together.
However, in order for me to view their grades for each class I either have to cipher through the grades tab list or I would have to click on each class to view the grade. (which is very frustrating and time consuming going through 20 classes clicking in and out and going back and forth).

Hi! I know that observing multiple students can feel overwhelming. I understand your frustrations. I wrote a blog that includes tips for observing multiple students. I hope you find some of the information helpful! Clarity for Canvas Observers

I find it extremely frustrating that the functionality to view student courses and grades by student is only available on the Canvas parent app. How can the parent app have more functionality than the PC version?
