For Parents

Canvas was built for teachers.
Pearsight is built for you.

Every kid, every class, every assignment in one calm view. Pearsight is the parent dashboard Canvas never gave you — and the only one your family will need.

A middle-school student walking through a school hallway with a backpack slung over one shoulder, mid-stride in late afternoon light, lockers receding into soft focus behind them.

Everything in one place
No more tab hunting, ever.

Status workflow

Built for real life, not just a checkmark.

Six states cover the messy middle between “assigned” and “graded.” Tap a status pill on any assignment to move it along the workflow.

  • Not started

    It's on the dashboard but they haven't begun. The neutral default.

  • In progress

    They've started but haven't finished. The yellow ring means active.

  • Done in class

    Finished at school. You see the green light without a follow-up question.

  • Verified

    You've checked the work and it looks good. The dashboard remembers.

  • Email teacher

    Something's off — a missing grade, a confusing prompt. One-tap reminder to follow up.

  • Redo needed

    Came back lower than expected. Flag it so it doesn't slip past the next round.

The conversation, not the surveillance

Talk through the work, not over their shoulder.

Every assignment has a comments thread. Your student leaves a note when they’re stuck; you answer right there. The context stays attached to the work it’s about — no group chat scroll-back, no “what was this for again?”

Pearsight doesn’t buzz you every time a grade updates. No nightly push notification anxiety, no badge counts piling up. You open the dashboard when you want to look, and everything that mattered today is at the top.

Pearsight assignment comments thread between a parent and child, shown as iMessage-style bubbles with parent comments on one side and kid replies on the other, anchored to a specific assignment.
iMessage-style comments, anchored to each assignment.

Canvas tells me a homework was assigned. Pearsight tells me whether it got done.

Pearsight is purchased by parents on behalf of their K-12 children. The paying parent (18+) creates the family account, which constitutes verifiable parental consent under COPPA for any child under 13 the parent enrolls. Kids do not sign up directly — their access is parent-paired only. See Privacy and Security for our full data-handling stance, including FERPA-aligned controls.
