Create and Link Your Parent Canvas Account
The following are instructions on how to create and pair accounts in Canvas. Your HSE students will be using Canvas throughout virtual and in-person instructions. If you have a child or children that are new to the district, please use the following instructions to link your child's Canvas account to your parent account. Please note that if you have already created a Parent Canvas account and linked your child(ren)'s account(s), you will not need to do this.
Hints:
Use a computer if possible as it is more user friendly than the app.
You will need your child's school email address and ID#. This information can be found in Skyward. Please click here to access Skyward. If the link is not working, you can go to the HSE homepage and click on the Canvas tab located at the top right of the screen.
Once you are logged in, you will select your child's name from the drop down menu under Family Access at the top of the page. Next, you will click on the Student Info tab from the column on the left. Your child's school email can be found next to the word School in the middle of the screen (just to the right of their school picture) and their school ID # is located under their picture (their school ID # is labeled as Other ID).
Steps:
- Please click here to access Canvas. If the link is not working, you can go to the HSE homepage and click on the Canvas tab located at the top right of the screen. You will click on the Students/Staff Portal rectangle to login with your child's information, using your child's full school email address as the username. Enter "hse" in front of their 6 digit other ID number for the password. You will now be logged in under their name.
- While on their Canvas page, click on Account and then Settings. Look to the right and click Pair with Observer. You will need to write down the code so you can use it to link your accounts.
- Click Account and Logout. You are now logged out of your child's account.
- If you have multiple students in the district, you will need to complete steps 1-3 for each of your children. You will need a pairing code for each student in an HSE school.
- Once you have a pairing code for each of your children, you will click here to access the home page of Canvas. If the link is not working, you can go to the HSE homepage and click on the Canvas tab located at the top right of the screen. You will click on the Parent Canvas Portal rectangle to create your profile. You will need your name, email, create a password, and one student pairing code. Click on Start Participating.
- Check your email now to finalize your Canvas sign-up.
- To add other children, go back to the HSE homepage, click Canvas tab, click Parent Portal, and login. Click on Account, click on Observing, and add your next child's pairing code.
Communication from HRE Staff
If your email address in skyward is correct and you have not received any communication from your child's teacher, there is a chance that your email provider is sending the emails to a spam or junk folder. To ensure that your teacher's emails are sent to your inbox, you can add their email address to your contact list. Please use the list below to find your teacher's school email address. We have also included the office staff below. You can also find our staff directory on the school's website and send emails directly to a staff member from there.

School Supply List
Class Composites from 2019-20
Parent Survey
As we return to school virtually, we are also learning to navigate a difficult time for our nation in response to the global pandemic, economic hardships, and social unrest around racial injustices.
In order to provide safe, supportive, and equitable learning environments to all students, we will be collecting information from all of our HRE families. This short survey asks questions about your student's school experience prior to COVID-19, their experience the last few months during the stay at home order, how the social unrest has impacted them, and what concerns you have about virtual learning for your student(s). Results from this survey will help your teacher provide additional supports to your student if needed.
Please use the following link to access the survey:
https://hseschools.formstack.com/forms/hre_student_k4
If you have any further questions or concerns about your student or this survey, please reach out to your student's teacher, school counselor, or building principal.
Our district is asking to please complete this survey by Friday, August 14. Thank you for your time and helping us to best support our HRE family.
*If you have already submitted this survey, you do not need to submit it again.
