Working through this tour will set you up for success in Canvas, but first things first, let's review how you log into Canvas.

Logging In on a Computer or Laptop: Go to Jenks.instructure.com

Please remember that you'll always log-in at jenks.instructure.com. Above, you see the log-in interface you'll always see if you're accessing Canvas in an internet browser .  As you already know (because you've already successfully logged in!), a parent or guardian logs into Canvas with the username and password created when he or she signed up for their Canvas account.
