Canvas is the learning management system (LMS) that CCPS students and teachers use to support face-to-face instruction and deliver remote instruction. Canvas streamlines all the digital tools and content that teachers and students love, for a simpler and more connected learning experience. Assistance for students is located on our Student page of the website.
Parent Access
To access Canvas, parents can use the Canvas Parent App to create a Canvas Observer Account. The Canvas Parent app allows parents to engage in their children's education by providing access to important class information.

View the list of courses where their students are enrolled. For each course, parents can see syllabus, assignments (title, due date, and instructions) and events.
Set alerts to view course announcements and/or receive reminders for a specific assignment or event (sent to mobile devices as push notifications).
Monitor their child’s performance on Canvas assignments (official grade reported in Infinite Campus).
With the Canvas Observer account, parents CANNOT:
Submit assignments, participate in discussions or take quizzes on their child’s behalf.
Access course content (files, pages, other students’ work, etc.)
Participate in the course in any way.
