How parents get Access to Canvas

Parents, guardians, and caregivers do not automatically receive viewing access for their child(ren)'s Canvas courses; they need to register for a Canvas account and connect to their child(ren)'s Canvas accounts with a pairing code. Student will generate the code and parent will use the code to activate their account.
