Canvas is used for daily class communication and assignments, so parents are encouraged to use Canvas to stay up-to-date on student activity. This campus-level page will remain accessible to all parents without a Canvas account, but to access to annocements and course-level student-specific information, including class announcements and student grades, parents will need to create an account in Canvas. To create your parent account, you'll need to reference the Canvas Username and Canvas password found on your student's profile page in onRecord.

For parents with existing Canvas accounts who wish to add an additional student to your account, see this guide from Canvas: https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-10915-4144237751

Most parents choose to stay connected to news from Thales Academy via email notifications from Canvas.

Please review the guide for setting your notification preferences to make sure you're receiving the information you want on the schedule you want. Please note that an email address must be "confirmed" to receive email notifications. A confirmation email is sent when the account is created, but can be re-sent to unconfirmed accounts from "Ways to Contact" on the right side of your Canvas settings page. If you have trouble receiving notifications, please contact support@thalesacademy.org so we can help make sure your account is set up to receive the notifications you expect.

The Canvas Parent App allows parents to easily keep track of grades and assignments for multiple students across all courses, as well as setting notification alerts for custom grade ranges. Parents can see the files and assignment descriptions, grades and submission status. The app is focused on convenience, providing parents the most-requested information in an easily-accessible format.
