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.
