Canvas Parent Access

What should I do if students/parents receive an “invalid pairing code” error message when attempting to link to their child as an observer in Canvas?

• CCPS parents must use the Canvas Parent app. If parents search Google or attempt to log in from a personal computer, they will receive an invalid pairing code error message when attempting to pair with their child. 

How can a parent/guardian access their child’s Canvas?

• Parents/Guardians of early learners can access Canvas by going through their child’s CCPS Portal account. To do so, visit portal.clayton.k12.ga.us, log into the CCPS Portal using the child's username and password, and click the Canvas tile. Click the appropriate class tile on the Canvas Dashboard. Parents/Guardians of older children can add the Canvas Parent app to their mobile phones.

• How can a student access Canvas on an Android or IOS device?

  • Students using an IOS or Android device should download the Canvas Student app from the App or Google Play store. Once the app has been installed, students will need to search for Clayton County Public Schools and sign in through the CCPS Portal.
