New Canvas Observer Protocol

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We’re excited to announce that you’re a few steps away from activating your Canvas Observer account for your middle or high school student. Canvas Observer enhances engagement with your student’s academic journey, allowing you to read announcements and view grades and assignment due dates, among other features.

All new and returning users must activate their account before you can start using Canvas Observer. To activate your account, complete the following steps (or see attachment):

1. Visit 4J’s Canvas for Families webpage and click on “Forgot Password?”

2. Enter the email you provided your child’s school and then click the “Request Password” box

3. Enter a password after clicking the reset link you receive in your email

4. Return to the Canvas for Families webpage to log in with your username and new password

Canvas Observer will not allow you to activate more than one account if parents/guardians have the same email address on file for their student. In this case, contact your school and provide a unique email address for each parent or guardian associated with your student. 

Please contact your school if you have any questions or run into any problems.

Thank you for your assistance,

Nicholas Hadley
