We've had many parents tell us they are not getting any announcements we put out to our classes in the parent app. It seems they can only see if their child has turned in assignments. Is there someway to make sure parents see our announcements on the parent app?

I remember that we had a number of people tell us this last year. I just tried it out myself again by making myself an observer for my own Kindergartner. It appears that all notification for the Parent app are OFF by default. To turn on alerts, the parent has to go into the app, click “Manage Children”, click the student’s name, and then turn on Course announcements. I lamented this issue in my blog post here: https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/cmug/blog/2019/01/16/what-i-would-like-to-see-in-canvas-paren...
