We just started infinite campus. My categories match between the 2 and the nightly syncs work without errors. However, no assignments really sync because there are no grades. So, I added some grades in canvas and now I get invalid user. It has been suggested that this might be because of the test student ( I am not putting…
When syncing PowerSchool with Canvas gradebook there used to be an icon (box with an arrow in it) that indicated the two were synced. Was there an update that changed that icon to a chain link?
Does anyone know if it's possible to take grades from Canvas gradebook and import them into Schoology gradebook?
I have 2 classes cross-listed into one Canvas section. When I try and sync only the grades from one of the classes gets synced to Infinite Campus. I get the following message: Grading category "Quarter 1 Formative" not found in InfiniteCampus 1.2 for assignment "Atom About Me". Please ensure that your assignment…
My roster sync from PowerSchool to Canvas has successfully synced all existing users, teachers and students, from the last school year. However, no new students and no new teachers will sync. I've never had this happen before, it's always just automatically synced. I have teachers added into Canvas and their rosters set up…
A new teacher is not appearing in Canvas. She is in our SIS (PowerSchool) and her classes appear in Canvas but she does not have an account and does not appear in the "People" list as the teacher for her courses (no teacher is listed). Any thoughts on what might be wrong?
We normally have one course and may have up to four sections in that course. We just added infinite campus as our sis. We are able to sync only if we have a separate course for each section. That means four canvas pages to keep up to date- a lot of copying daily. When we try to sync the main course (and yes the sections…
I'm contracting with a charter school and helping them through their SIS integration to Aspire. I know our CS person is trying, but the responses have been very slow and the director needs to plan PD, and to do that we need to know if they sync will be live. I know about the "sync to sis" button when a teacher sets it up,…
We're facing significant challenges with the Powerschool Canvas sync, specifically regarding course naming conventions and observer account syncing. Is there a way to concatenate section numbers from PowerSchool with course names during the sync process? For example, changing "English 6" to "English 6: Section 111" for…
