Working through this tour will set you up for success in Canvas, but first things first, let's review how you log into Canvas.

Logging In on a Computer or Laptop:

Please remember that you'll always log-in at [yourschool/district].instructure.com. Above, you see the log-in interface you'll always see if you're accessing Canvas in an internet browser . As you already know (because you've already successfully logged in!), a parent or guardian logs into Canvas with the username and password created when he or she signed up for their Canvas account.

INTO the 'Find Your School or District' field when prompted.
