Canvas Learning Management System

Canvas for Students

Through Canvas, students have single sign-on access to all of their course content, whether learning in person or virtually, and can submit work and take assessments online. Canvas also allows for discussion boards and group work and provides a localized place for all course communication.

How to Access Canvas

To access Canvas on your Chromebook, click on the orange Canvas icon in the Clever Portal. When not using a district-issued device, students can access Canvas by going to clever.com/in/icsd.

Canvas/Tech Support

If you need help understanding an assignment or other course-related material on Canvas, please use the Canvas inbox to send a message to your teacher. For additional Canvas support, you can contact Mrs. Arnold or your school librarian, or browse the Canvas Troubleshooting Guide. For help with a technology-related issue (Chromebook, Google account, etc.) please complete our online Student Support Request Form.

Canvas for Observers

Canvas allows parents and caregivers ("observers") to view their children's course information, announcements, assignment due dates and submissions, and grades/feedback.

Student Pairing Codes

In order to register for a Canvas account, observers will need a unique student pairing code. Students can generate pairing codes for up to five observers that want to link to their account by following these steps:

• In Global Navigation, click "Account" then "Settings"
• Click the "Pair with Observer" button

Each student pairing code can be used only once (for a single observer) and will expire after seven days or its first successful use. For more information about pairing codes, check out these frequently asked questions.

Linking to Additional Students

• In Global Navigation, click "Account" then "Settings"
• In User Navigation, click "Observing"
• Enter the student pairing code (instructions above) and click the "Add Student" button
