Important Update for Fulton Parents/Guardians:

Accessing Canvas for the 2025-2026 School Year

We're excited to announce a new, streamlined process for parents and guardians to access Canvas, Fulton Schools' learning management system! For the 2025-2026 school year, your Canvas parent account will be directly linked to the information you have on file in Infinite Campus. This change will simplify account creation and ensure you have seamless access to your student's academic progress.

 

What Does This Mean for You?

Here's a breakdown of how this new process might affect your Canvas access:

  1. If you previously created a Canvas account using a pairing code AND used the same email address that is listed in Infinite Campus:
    • No action is needed from you! You will continue to log in to Canvas the same way you always have. Your existing account will automatically be linked to your student(s) based on your Infinite Campus information.

 

  1. If you previously created a Canvas account using a pairing code BUT DID NOT use an email address listed in Infinite Campus, OR if you have NEVER set up a Canvas account before:
    • A new account will be created for you by the district. You will receive an email from Fulton Schools Canvas (notifications@instructure.com) notifying you that you have been registered for a Canvas account.  You can complete the registration with this email.
    • If you previously created a Canvas account with an email that is not listed in Infinite Campus, that account will be deleted and you will need to use the new account that has been created for you by the district.

 

What if you DON'T receive an email?

If you do not receive an email regarding your Canvas account, it's likely that an email address is not currently on file for you in Infinite Campus.  If there is an error with your email or you haven’t provided one, please contact the Technology Support Center at 470-254-4357. Once your Infinite Campus account is set up with an email address, your Canvas parent account will be created shortly after.

 

How to Access Canvas:

Once your account is active, you can access Canvas by:

  • Going to: fultonschools.instructure.com
  • Selecting "Parent Login"

 

Additionally, you can download and log in to the Canvas Parent App.

 

 

a. Once downloaded on your device, click Find My School.

b. Type in Fulton County and select “Fulton County Schools Observer (Families/Guardians).”  

c.  On the next screen, login with your email and password.

 

Why This Change?

This new process provides a more efficient and reliable way for parents and guardians to connect with their student's learning environment in Canvas. By leveraging Infinite Campus data, we are enhancing security measures and ensuring consistency and alignment between our student information system and our learning management system. This streamlined approach makes it easier for you to stay informed and engaged in your student's education with added peace of mind.
