Setting up a Parent Observer Account in Canvas

Becoming a Parent Observer in Canvas

Step 1: Obtain a pairing code.

A pairing code is required to begin your observer role. Pairing codes can be generated by the student or provided by the teacher(s). The steps below show how a student can provide you with the pairing code. Please know that pairing codes are case sensitive and can only be used once. Families will need a separate pairing code for each observer who wants to link to a student's Canvas account; students can generate multiple codes

Step 2: Setting up your account.

Now that you have your pairing code, you will need to create an account.

Navigate to tinyurl.com/NNPS-Canvas-Parent, and then click on the link at the top right to create your account.

Complete the short form, including the pairing code from step one.
