About this app

Traditionally, parents seeking information about their students' progress had to sift through assignment planners, email instructors, or wait for report cards. But the wait is over! Canvas Parent is designed to provide visibility into your child's education at a glance. Canvas Parent allows parents to:

• View assignment descriptions and due dates
• Set reminders for assignments
• View assignment grades
• View course grades
• Set grade alerts
• View course announcements

Important: This mobile app is only usable by parents whose children attend schools that have enabled Canvas Parent.

Ratings and reviews

Good app. I wish you could filter the available tabs on the mobile app to only view missing assignments. It would be nice if the assignments could be set in chronological order by due date for easier review. It doesn't appear all teachers use the program in the same manner so it makes it more challenging for users to figure out certain things (like assignment due dates).

This app hasn't worked in days. There is just a panda on the screen that says uh oh, contact support if this keeps happening. I have submitted 2 tickets now to get it fixed and nothing has been done. I have checked for updates. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app. It doesn't work. Can't keep up with kids grades if you can't get past the screen that says uh oh. Extremely frustrated.

The app is not user-friendly or very informative. Once your settings are set in the beginning set up they cannot be changed. I had to uninstall and start over. I only left the weekly update, which comes at 3 am. Based on information from canvas this can be changed by going to your account notification. Which doesn't exist within the app. Do not recommend. Wish or school would go back to tyler sis.
