How to set up a parent account

[sjensen3]

I would like a one or two-page guide that I could print and have available for parents at our school's open house, explaining what Canvas is, how to set up an account, etc. Just a clean sheet with basic Canvas info for new parent users. Does such a document exist? Thank you!

Hi Sarah!

I have one that I created for the school where I teach. You'll need to adjust a few support emails and the screenshot of your sign-in page, but feel free to remix it!

Just a heads up: Within Mobile Update - Summer 2019!‌, you'll see that there are changes coming to Canvas Parent. With the next update, the handout linked above will likely need some changes.
