Canvas provides an application for parents called the Canvas Parent App (Google Play Store & Apple App Store). This app allows you to sign in and observe your student's Canvas activity. (This is a different application than the The PALCS App) While we do not officially recommend this application, you can use it to observe your student. We do not enable the "pairing code" method, instead you will need to sign into the app with your PALCS account. When you open the app, click on "Find School."
Then type either "PALCS" or "Pennsylvania Leadership Charter School" and we should show up as an option.
Clicking on the school will direct you to our login page. Sign in with the same UN / PW that you use to sign into the PALCS Lobby ( PALCSchool Lobby )
Then once you are signed in, it will let you into the lobby.
You will need to find a link to Canvas. Scroll down to the Academic Courses section and click the name of a course, or the Canvas icon that is displayed there.
If no Canvas icons / grades are showing up in your Academic Courses section (during a new marking period where no grades have been submitted yet), you can also tap on the "-" icon as well.
This will open up Canvas and sign you into the Canvas Parent app.
While this app is useful for keeping track of your student's Canvas activity, we recommending using the PALCS Lobby and App as that will have additional information that the Canvas Parent app cannot provide.
