Parent Permissions

Parents can sign up for a free Canvas account in order to view the resources and activities posted in their child’s courses that are available. Much of this same information is posted on the Willard High School Website for parents. Parent Observer accounts can:

Read announcements, calendar, and course syllabus

See a list assignments and quiz titles with due dates

See the child's assignments and quizzes, but not his/her discussion posts

When it comes to quizzes parents can see a description of the Quiz, date, instructions, how many points. After their student has taken the quiz, they can see their student's quiz through the gradebook. Whatever the students are allowed to view as defined in the Quiz Settings is what the parent is allowed to view. For example, if a student is allowed to view the right answers to quiz questions after submission, so will the parent.

View the child’s scores and progression of mastery of standards, (if teacher has set up)

Use the Inbox to contact the teacher

Set up notifications to get emails or texts for announcements, assignments, etc.

View the Outcomes if available in the navigation
