Adding Additional Students to Parent Canvas Account

Linking Additional Students to a Parent Account

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. Admins and instructors may also generate pairing codes. For more information on pairing codes, view the Pairing Codes - Frequently Asked Questions PDF.

Notes:

  • You cannot add students whose accounts are not within Forest Lakes Area School (Canvas URL). To observe students in another district, you must sign up for an account using that district's Canvas URL.
  • Once you have linked to a student from the Observing page, you cannot remove the student.
