Canvas How-To for Families

Shoreline Schools uses Canvas to share grades, assignments, and due dates with families.

 

There are two important and helpful ways you can view your students Canvas information:

  1. Parent Account: Logging in through the Parent/Observer Account will allow you to access messages from teachers and other important class-related information.
  2. Student Account: Logging in as your student will help you see the platform as they see it and access their specific assignments.

 

📱 Access Your Parent Account (App)

  1. Download the Canvas Parent App (App Store / Google Play Store).
     
  2. Tap the Shoreline School District button, if available. If not, tap Find School → enter “Shoreline School District”
     
  3. For the username, enter your email address that the school has on record. If you need to update your email address, please contact Kellogg.
     
  4. If you already have a parent observer account (you use to observe an older child), enter your password. If not, tap Forgot Password? and set a password.

 

💻 Access Parent Account (Web)

  1. Go to shorelineschools.instructure.com
     
  2. For the username, enter the email address that the school has on record.
