Technology for Parents and Guardians

This short course is meant to provide parents and guardians with an introduction to Canvas, directions on how to create a parent account to "co-enroll" in a course as an observer, navigate Canvas, and how to download and use the parent app to track students' progress as well as useful information regarding other PCPS issued devices and accounts. Because Poquoson teachers and staff value and encourage the participation of all stakeholders in ensuring high levels of student learning, including the vital involvement of parents and guardians, this course has been made available to any parent or guardian who wants to know more about PCPS technology.

You may navigate this course by clicking on the buttons below or by clicking modules in the course navigation on the left side of the page. For the Canvas portion, it is recommended that you start with Introduction to Canvas; then, view Canvas Observer and Canvas Parent App. Please note that the course is unmoderated (there is no instructor), so please direct any questions to the Poquoson Technology Department at pcps.helpdesk@poquoson.k12.va.us
