As we transitioned to the Canvas Gradebook, one feature that many teachers missed was the ability to message both students and parents/observers. Canvas was listening and now when you choose to “message students who” (have a missing assignment, low score, etc.) you can include the observers!
- Navigate to Grades
- Choose an assignment
- Select the 3 dots and “Message Student Who”
- Choose the appropriate reason for the message
- Make sure to select observers in addition to students
How this supports you
You can now easily message students and parents from Canvas with your most up-to-date gradebook. It will help make your workflow a little easier.
How this supports students & observers
We can continue to meet students where they are throughout the day with Canvas messaging and support parents with building their use of Canvas as well.
