Parental observation in canvas complicated with three children!

We have three children at the same high school. We have registered as Canvas observers, and added all three children to our watch list. With 8 class periods, that's 24 potential classes to watch, and they appear to be listed ALPHABETICALLY, without an obvious way to filter by student, or clearly identify which student is taking which class.
Our three children have very different learning styles and levels of achievement, which demand three very different levels of observation. Our temporary workaround will be very "clunky" (an old technical term meaning not user-friendly). We are going to have to set up three separate parental accounts, using three separate parent email addresses, and observe one student in each account.
I am excited about using your system and at first blush it seems to have a number of advantages over MyBigCampus that we used last year. However, if we can't look at one student at a time, or somehow sort things differently, it could be a frustrating year. Can you help us?
