Parents have access to Canvas Parent App

Canvas now has a new Parent App available. According to Instructure, it is a “first-of-its-kind mobile app for parents.” Parents can view assignment descriptions, assignment grades, course grades and course announcements, and set reminders for assignments and alerts for specific grade activity, which they receive as push notifications on their mobile devices. The Canvas Parent app empowers parents to take a greater role in overseeing their children’s academic work. It offers peace of mind that students are meeting expectations and insights into what teachers are scheduling in the near future. Finally, the app gives parents the opportunity to view pertinent, real-time data and information on their children’s performance and participation in school.
