Canvas Parent provides visibility into your child's education at a glance.

Features & Capabilities

Canvas Parent is a Chrome extension designed to give parents immediate visibility into their child's educational progress. Instead of manually checking assignment planners or waiting for report cards, parents can now easily view assignment descriptions, due dates, and grades within the extension interface.

Key features include setting reminders for upcoming assignments and grade alerts, accessing course grades, and staying informed through course announcements. This tool simplifies parental engagement in education by providing real-time updates and notifications. Note that Canvas Parent works only if your child's school has enabled this feature.

I can't get the app to connect to my school.

As a parent, this app has been a pain to deal with, pending tasks from courses gives no alerts and emails received don't open the app. a nightmare. Also messages don't include child names.

I think some stuff was updated on the app. i used to be able to see all of my kids assignments on their calendar when i selected their name. Now I can only click a few classes (it says i can only select up to 10 classes between all students and I have 4 kids in middle and high school). I would also like to have an option for push notifications so i know what assignments are due/late/missing. other than that it does work for it's intended purpose when i remember i have it
