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.

The latest update is awful. It used to have one semester visible, now it has the entire year and it's not even in chronological order anymore. Different teachers use the app in different ways and it's a mess to understand if work has been turned in or not and if it's accurately graded. Assignments will often say submitted and graded but have a score of zero until the teacher manually adjusts them. Assignments will appear and automatically be graded at 50% which will drop the overall grade.

This update is awful. It is harder to navigate, things seem all over the place. And why if you select a specific semester and click save, it reverts back to all semesters every time you click on the class? Please put it back or at least give us an option to revert back to the older one!
