Viewing Student Grades in Canvas

As an observer, you can view grades for students you are observing. The Grades page in a course displays your student's grades for course assignments. You can also view assignment scoring details, comments, and rubrics. Scores in Canvas reflect individual assignment scores only, not the course average. For the official course average, please log into Skyward Parent Portal.
