Obtain Pairing Code
- From your child
- From the teacher
- When requesting make sure to use email contact that is listed in Infinite Campus.
Create an Account and Pair with Child
- Sign up at canvas.ccsd.net then use your student’s pairing code so you can see your student’s grades and assignments.
- When you’re on the login screen to enter your information, the web address will be ccsd.instructure.com and if it gives you an error with your student’s pairing code you will need to adjust that web address. Considering your child’s level you would enter “es”, “ms”, or “hs” before the “ccsd” if you encounter an error.
- So it reads esccsd.instructure.com for elementary students
- msccsd.instructure.com for middle school students
- hsccsd.instructure.com for junior/senior high school or high school students
- Canvas is working on improving this obviously annoying workflow for parents.
Download “Canvas Parent” App
- The app provides visibility into your child's education at a glance. Available for iOS and Android devices.

Asynchronous vs. Synchronous Learning
Asynchronous Learning
Asynchronous learning occurs when students complete instruction at different times, based on their learning needs. Asynchronous learning allows students to have ownership over the pace of their learning. Examples of asynchronous learning opportunities include:
- Recorded lectures with slides or other digital media
- Self-paced instructional materials
- Online discussions
- Recorded synchronous lessons for playback
- Digital announcements
- Online quiz assessments
Asynchronous learning provides meaningful data that should be analyzed to determine instructional needs for live class sessions as well as inform educators to make up small group video conferencing sessions to support, scaffold, and stretch their learners.
Synchronous Learning
Synchronous learning, in comparison, occurs when students are scheduled to complete instruction at a specific time. Synchronous learning provides the opportunity for students to interact with their instructor as well as their classmates. Synchronous learning is an opportune time to address deeper levels of knowledge based on instruction completed during independent, asynchronous learning opportunities. Examples of synchronous learning opportunities include:
- Live video conferencing sessions with the whole class
- Small group breakout meeting using video conferencing
- Live chat discussions
- Live streaming demonstrations
- Collaborative groups
Synchronous sessions are opportunities to recreate the face-to-face learning environment, foster connections between you and your students, support students' social-emotional needs, and encourage peer to peer relationships.
