How are you?
Parents Accessing Canvas
Parents will receive the pairing code from their student's ADVISORY TEACHER.
If your student has Mrs. Shirey for advisory,
please send her an email requesting the access code.
Once you receive the pairing code, here is how you access Canvas:
- Once parents receive their pairing code, they will need to sign up for a Canvas account. Parents will go to https://pwcs.instructure.com/login/canvas and select“Parent of a Canvas User” from the top right of the window.
- Parents will enter the information requested including the pairing code provided to them by their child or their child’s teacher.
- To add more students to observe, once logged in, parents will want to click on Account>Observing. Here, they can see who they are already linked to and add more children.
- Once the account has been created, parents can use the Canvas Student App on their Apple or Android devices to access their account. When using the app, parents will select Prince William County Parents link when asked to "find school." The Canvas Student app and the Canvas Parent app are similar. Canvas has recommended that the Canvas Student app has a better layout.
The pairing code will expire after seven days or its first use.
Note: Pairing codes are case sensitive.
