Canvas Parent App

While the best way to view Canvas is on a full sized computer, if you're looking for a more streamlined, efficient way to monitor and support your students learning, the Canvas Parent App is a light version of Canvas. The Parent App provides an efficient view of your each student's calendar and announcements at a glance. See this page for more information on the app.
