In Buzz, Observers (like parents, mentors, tutors, etc) are given read-only access to a observed student's account, including:
- Courses, course information, Announcements, Calendars, and Agendas
- Student To-do lists and Activity streams
- Activities (excluding Assessments) and due dates
- Student submissions
- Grades, teacher feedback, and other performance indicators
Admins: How do I add observers to an enrollment?
This collection includes all articles from the Parent or Observer section, organized by tool. Because students may be interested in topics that relate to other roles, some of these links point to the the Administrator, Teacher, and Student sections.

Activities
Open Activities to access the Course Home page for any of the student's current courses. Course Home pages display course announcements, the To-do List, course activities, course links, the student's current score, daily agendas, and the Activity Stream.
Calendar
The Calendar displays due date notifications that are color-coded by course. Select a date or view for a list of activities.
Communication

Home
Home is Buzz's landing page and starting point for navigating the app. It displays current announcements for all courses, the To-do List for all courses, the student's Activity Stream, and Course Cards. This tool gives you a good overview of what's happening in all of the student's current courses.
Performance
