Our school uses Powerschool SIS. Recently, grades for some students aren't syncing over to Powerschool, but Canvas is saying the sync was successful. My grading categories match, the Sync to Powerschool box is checked, and due dates are entered and accurate. In a given assignment, some of the student's grades are syncing…
