Why is my Parent Observer Button Missing?
Some parents may find the "Observing" button missing from their Settings if they have an older observer account and students are no longer in MCCSC, i.e. graduated. The account still exists but the standard instructions to add a new student to observer do not work since the button is gone. To resolve:
- Log in to mccsc.instructure.com.
- Have student generate a pairing code per the posted observer instructions
- Type /profile/observees after the mccsc.instructure.com for the full URL https://mccsc.instructure.com/profile/observees.
- Add pairing code here.
