Canvas info for Families

Here is a PDF of the info below.

You can Access Canvas on a web browser on any device at: https://apsva.instructure.com/login/canvas

• Parent Canvas App
• Student Canvas App

The Parent Canvas app is limited in some features, so the web version is better for things like viewing grades and feedback.

• The best way to view teacher feedback on students’ work is through Parent Canvas on the web, or through the Student App on the APS iPad.
• This is not available on the Parent Canvas App.

1. Tap the Course
