Canvas Parent Account?
To support and monitor student progress, you can create a Parent Canvas account. This allows you to view everything your student sees on the Canvas platform. You will have access to your student's courses, assignments, grades, scoring rubrics, teacher feedback and student calendar. There are two ways to access your Canvas parent account, on a desktop or laptop computer or by the Canvas phone app. Both directions are listed below.
Creating and Accessing Your Account on a desktop or laptop.
To create a parent Canvas account, please go to rsd.instructure.com/login/Canvas. Make sure this is the Richland School District Canvas login portal. (See image below.) Click on Parent of a Canvas User, found in the upper right corner of the Login box. You will need to create your own account using your email address and a password of your choice. Please note, district personnel do not have access to your password information.

Creating a Canvas Parent Account on a Smartphone
The Canvas app provides you with only a snapshot of how your student is doing in Canvas. You can view information on assignments, grades, student calendar and receive alerts. You will not be able to view student work from the Canvas app.
To download the Parent Canvas app, use either Google Play or iTunes.
Directions:
After installing the Parent app, click the blue Find My School button. Type Richland School District into the search bar and click on "Richland School District Parent". Please see images below as there are two Richland School Districts listed for Canvas. In the sign up screen, you will need to add your name, email address, password and a student Pairing Code. Please use the links below with step-by-step directions for creating a Pairing Code and adding more students to your account. Please note, the Canvas app only provides notifications and a quick snapshot of how your student is doing. To see more, you will need to access Canvas from a computer or laptop.

Locating the Correct Richland School District in the Canvas Parent App
Please open your parent account and click on Account.
If this is your first time creating a Canvas Parent account or you do not have access to your computer or laptop, you can access the app directly. Unfortunately, there is more than one Richland School District listed in the Canvas Parent App. Make sure you click on the second Richland School District. Once the login page opens, check that the page heading reads, rsd.instructure.com. Now you can either login to an existing account or create your account.
