How do you email a parent when you only have their email address and they are not listed in the course or in Canvas?
I would hope that your district/institution has an email system set up (like Gmail, Outlook, etc) that could be used to email the parent. Without them listed in Canvas, you will not be able to use Canvas to email them.

To add to what @JeffCampbell has stated, Canvas does not really have e-mail. There is a Canvas Inbox within the user interface, but it's not the same as e-mail. The Inbox is a place where students and instructors can send messages to each other as long as they are enrolled in the same class(es). The Canvas Inbox is not e-mail...in that students cannot e-mail their friends and family from within the Canvas environment because they are, most likely, not enrolled in those same class(es). By the same token, friends and family cannot e-mail people inside of Canvas. It's really a messaging tool within Canvas for instructors and students to communicate with each other. Hopefully there are other ways (such as Outlook) that can be used to contact the parent. Good luck to you!

I'm not sure that this is the right place to post about this, but I was wondering if anyone has a fix for how the scroll bar for the entire page covers the scroll bar for just a document viewed in Canvas. The scroll bar for a document will stay visible until one attempts to interact with it, at which point the bar for the…
Hi There, We are in the process of transitioning to Canvas this year and were wanting to connect with any other MYP schools to see how you setup Assignment and grading under your modules. Or you could guide us to any resources you may have.
After using Canvas for a while, I picked up a small habit that’s saved me some last-minute stress with written submissions. Even when drafts are original, longer explanations and summaries tend to reuse common phrasing, especially in research-heavy assignments. Before submitting, I usually do a quick cleanup pass to reduce…
In the "How do I use the Learning Mastery Gradebook" page, under "Student scores" (https://community.instructure.com/en/kb/articles/660932-how-do-i-use-the-learning-mastery-gradebook-to-view-outcome-results-in-a-course#view-student-scores), the displayed gradebook shows a little colorful square and also points for each…
