This page will provide you with directions to create a Canvas account using a desktop browser. While the Parent mobile app provides an on-the-go glimpse of course calendars and due dates, Canvas provides a much richer observer experience on desktop browsers, where much more content is available to view using an interface similar to a student’s. We encourage you to access Canvas via a desktop browser to view more content and communicate with your student’s teachers.

Before beginning to create an account in Canvas, please ensure that you are using a supported browser. Canvas supports the current and first previous releases of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

Canvas provides an effective means of communication between home and school. Both students and parents can contact instructors through the Canvas Inbox. Additionally, parents can receive course updates and be notified of inbox activity through notification preferences, which can be set to provide immediate notification or to provide a daily or weekly summary.
