About · Student side

Same Canvas data, calmer layout.

The kid dashboard isn't the parent dashboard with a fresh coat of paint — it's a separate surface built around what a middle or high schooler actually needs to see when they sit down to do homework.

Your student opens Pearsight and sees their day sorted into Today, Missing, and Upcoming — same buckets as the parent view, but without the parent-only collections like Follow-Ups or Email Teacher. The visual rhythm is quieter, the typography slightly larger, the action targets bigger for thumbs on a Chromebook.

Each assignment card has the two actions kids use most: tap to mark in progress, tap to mark done. Both sync to the parent dashboard instantly. If your kid needs to ask a question, the comment input is right there on the card — no messaging app to switch into.

The kid view never shows parent-side controls (Verify, Follow-Up, Email Teacher are invisible). That keeps the surface uncluttered and the home-time question simple: did you do it, what’s blocking, what’s left.

Key facts

  • Three collections only — Today, Missing, Upcoming.
  • Big tap targets sized for Chromebook + tablet + phone.
  • Mark in progress / done synced to the parent side instantly.
  • Per-assignment comment input lives inside the card.
What your kid sees: their list and one assignment open at a time.

Pearsight is a direct-to-consumer parent dashboard purchased by parents on behalf of their K-12 children. Although we may integrate as an institutional vendor or store a school-wide database it is only in those cases that we would require a district DPA (Data Privacy Agreement). Individual parents utilize their own FERPA-guaranteed right of access to authenticate their personal Canvas observer account. We do not sell, track, or re-disclose student data. The paying parent (18+) creates the family account, which constitutes verifiable parental consent under COPPA. Children do not sign up directly — their access is parent guided. Pearsight aligns with all global privacy standards and children protection standards, including GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, PECR, PIPEDA, SOPIPA, COPPA, and FERPA. See Privacy and Security for our full data-handling stance.
