If you signed up for a Canvas account as a parent, you can add students to observe within the same institution. 


To link yourself to a student, you will need to enter a student-specific pairing code. Pairing codes are case sensitive and are valid for seven days. Students can generate pairing codes from their User Settings. Administrators and instructors are also able to generate pairing codes.

Notes:

  • You cannot add students whose accounts are not within the SCCSD. To observe students in another institution, you must sign up for an account using that institution's Canvas URL.
  • Once you have linked to a student from the Observing page, you cannot remove the student. To remove a student, please contact the student's instructor.
