Canvas is the
SCSD2 Learning Management System (LMS). It is a portal for content as
well as an online system to support the flow of classwork.
Parents are encouraged to create a Canvas Parent Portal account. With a parent account, you are able to observe
your child's account activity including class content, assignments, and
calendar. With observer status, you can log in to Canvas from any
computer/mobile device. Follow these steps to open your parent account:
1. Go to the SCSD2
Canvas log in page. Make sure your child is with you when you do this.
You will need to know your child's Canvas ID and password.
2. Select the 'parent account button' at the top right of the Scott
2 Canvas log in page. Enter the requested information including your
personal email.
3) Agree to the terms of use/privacy policy and "Start Participating."
4) Create your password via email that arrives from Canvas. You
will receive several emails from Canvas (for every course your student
takes). Follow their directions to complete enrollment and be sure to
find the email regarding the establishment of your password! You will
log in to Canvas using your parent email and password.
5) If you have multiple students in SCSD2, once you have an open parent account,
go to settings and Add Users!

After you have created your account, you can log in to Canvas from
the Parent/Student tab at the top of any SCSD2 school web site. You can
also access the log in screen from orange Canvas logo in the right
column of the LES main web page.
