An observer account allows parents to view course assignments, material due dates, current grades, announcements and other content related to the courses in which their student participates. Notification and alerts such as for grades and due dates can also be established from a parent observer account.
Here's how to access a Canvas Parent Observer Account:
Use the above "Parent Observer Login" button to access the login page.
Input your email address (the one also used to log in to your FACTS account).
Input your password. If this is the first time logging in, select "Forgot Password," and instructions for creating a password will be emailed to you.
Click "Log In."
Now you are in the Canvas Dashboard for your student(s). If you have more than one student enrolled, use the pull down menu at the top to switch between students.
