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

Update: The calendar finally started working but stopped again. I haven't been able to use it since January. It says, "There was an error loading your calendar." Once again, I have signed out and back in. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I gave it 2 stars because the calendar does not work. It just keeps telling me there was an error in loading my students calendar. I have refreshed it, Uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. I still cannot get the calendar to work.

Alerts don't work. Says error. You need to manually check every class/assignment to see if they have a new one, have been submitted, and grade received. Last semester 100+ alerts came through last week of school at same time. One student alerts work and not calendar, other students calendar works but not alerts. 🤯 Hopefully problem gets fixed. Have submitted multiple requests. *update has been fixed

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
