This short course is meant to provide parents and guardians with an introduction to Canvas, directions on how to create a parent account to 'co-enroll' in a course as an observer, navigate Canvas, and how to download and use the parent app to track students' progress.

Because Maplewood Richmond Heights teachers and staff value and encourage the participation of all stakeholders in ensuring high levels of student learning, including the vital involvement of parents and guardians, this course has been made available to any parent or guardian who wants to know more about Canvas.

Please note that the course is unmoderated (there is no instructor) and direct any questions to the Maplewood Richmond Heights Instructional Technology Department at 314-565-3657 or at john.redden@mrhschools.net / Canvas Support Form
