Hi, I have a number of parents with two or more kids in the school.  The parents have a separate SIS ID login for each student account.  Is there a way that the parent can login with one account and see both kids at once?

Hi Rebecca Penina Simon,

From Kristin Lundstrum's Blog‌ called Clarity for Canvas Observers -- your parents will need the separate pairing codes for each of their children and then can add them to their observer account.

I still think they will only be able to actually view the activity of 1 student at a time, though they have both students in their observer account. They will have to switch between students.

The first blog post I mentioned should be all your parents need to understand what they have to do, but just in case here's another from Kristin: /blogs/lundstrum/2017/08/25/a-letter-to-canvas-observers 

Hope I got closer to understanding your question,
Cheers - Shar
