CANVAS

Yes! You only need one Canvas account to participate in all your students’ courses.  Once you’ve created a Canvas account, follow these steps to add students to observe.

• Log in to Canvas at https://pphs.instructure.com/login/canvas

• Select Account

• Select Observing

• Enter the pairing code generated from your student’s account and click “+Student.”

• You may also follow these step-by-step instructions for adding students to your Observer account. 

• To get a Student Pairing Code, your student should log into Canvas to generate one.  Students can log directly into Canvas from their school Chromebook by clicking on the “PPHS” folder in the upper left corner of their toolbar.

• Pairing codes are valid for seven days and become invalid after one use. 

• Student Pairing Codes are case-sensitive. 

Visit https://pphs.instructure.com/login/canvas and select “Forgot Password.”

To customize your dashboard to show all your student’s courses, you can mark Canvas courses as favorites.

If you receive this error, verify the Student Pairing Code with your student.  Since codes expire after 7 days and after one use, it could be due to one of these issues.
