When will Manhasset parents receive Canvas accounts?
We are working with our student information system and Canvas to create "observer" accounts for all parents. We hope to email parents credentials by early October.
-
Which browsers does Canvas support?
Because it's built using web standards, Canvas runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, Android, or any other device with a modern web browser.

How do I use the Calendar as an observer?
The Calendar is a great way to view everything a linked student has to do for all their courses in one place. You can view calendar events by day, week, month, or agenda list. The calendar also includes access to the Scheduler, which is an optional scheduling tool in Canvas. However, observers cannot reserve appointments on behalf of a student.
Observers cannot view events in a student's personal calendar or appointments reserved through the Scheduler. Please note that an observer can view a student's reserved appointment(s) in the Canvas Parent App. -
How can I use Canvas on my mobile device as an observer?
You can access Canvas from any browser on your Android/iOS device. However, mobile browsers are not supported, and features may not function as expected compared to viewing Canvas in a fully supported desktop browser.
