Perhaps this feature exists and I just haven't found it. My children's middle school is using Canvas and parents sign-up with Observer access. I can see the assignments, the assignment instructions, and text indicating whether the assignment is configured as a "submit" or "mark as done" assignment. I have not yet found a way (using my observer account) to see if my child has actually "submitted" something or marked something as done.  I also cannot review in read-only mode what was submitted. Please consider adding this capability. Since students are virtual 3 days and on-site 2 days, parents are expected to act as "teachers" to make sure kids are getting their work done on virtual days. Without this feature, I cannot fulfill my expected role in an effective manner.
