NOTE: NTPS does NOT use Pairing Codes for Observers. Observer accounts are automatically created using parent/guardian information from Skyward/Qmlativ, and observers are automatically paired with their children.

Parents can view their student’s classes in Canvas to view grades, assignment information, announcements, and more as Observers via our Canvas sign-in page and mobile apps available from the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Parents and guardians accessing for the first time after June 2024 must create passwords for their accounts.

To create a password on a phone or tablet, see the Mobile Parent Apps section below.

To create a password on a PC, Laptop or Chromebook:

Go to https://nthurston.instructure.com/login/canvas (this is a unique link for parent access). This is also the same link as the Guardian Login tile on the NTPS website

On that link, click the “Forgot Password?” link
Enter the full email address you have registered in Skyward Qmlativ into the username, and click "Request Password".
Then, check that email account for a message containing a link to set your password
After you reset the password, log in to the link https://nthurston.instructure.com/login/canvas with your username and new password, and you will be logged into the parent/observer Canvas dashboard, where you will have access to view your child's account.

Once you are logged into your parent/observer account, you can change the default email address.

Mobile Parent Apps

The Canvas Parent app is the mobile version of Canvas that helps parents stay up-to-date with their student's courses. Download the Canvas Parent app on Android and iOS devices. First-time users can set up their password in the app:

Locate our Canvas entity
On that link, click the “Forgot Password?” link. Then, enter the full email address you have registered in Skyward Qmlativ into the username, and click "Request Password".
Then, check that email account for a message containing a link to set your password
