This is part III and the final step for passing grades back to PowerSchool with PowerTeacher Pro (PTP). Part I outlines how to import assignment groups from PowerSchool, and Part II outlines properly setting up an assignment for grade passback (GPB).
This guide shows how to pass grades to PTP through the Canvas gradebook after completing parts I and II.
In Course Navigation, click the Grades link.
If you are using the new Canvas gradebook, click the Actions menu and select the option to sync to your SIS (PowerSchool).
If you are using the legacy Canvas gradebook, click the Export menu instead.
Click the Sync Now button.
Note: Depending on when your SIS was implemented, the Grade Sync link may also be named Monitoring and Reporting.
The Sync Status page defaults to the Reporting tab, where you can view the status of the sync request.
In the search field [1], you can search for a specific sync request by course, section, or user SIS ID.
You can also filter by status. By default, the Everything status is selected, which displays all sync results in the page [2]. You can filter syncs by Cancelled, Errors, Failed, In Progress, In Queue, and Success.
Each status type displays the number of sync requests for each status [3]. To filter by a specific status type, click the name of the status.
To manage grade passback options, click the Sync tab [1].
To run a bulk grade passback for all grades in your course, click the Submit button [2]. Running a bulk grade passback sends every grade in the gradebook to your SIS. This option can be used if you notice a discrepancy between your Canvas and PowerTeacher gradebooks.
To schedule a sync to run daily, select the Scheduled Daily Sync checkbox [3]. This option sends any new grades that were updated for assignments set to sync to SIS. To save your daily sync setting, click the Save button [4].
This information needs to be updated to reflect the changes that have been made. The Grade Sync page does not look like this anymore.
When a student turns in a late assignment, I need it to also show as late in Skyward. Having to go in and manually mark multiple assignments late for 130 students is tedious and time consuming. If Canvas recognizes the assignment as late, the same mark needs to be sent to Skyward when it is synced.
How do I add a student to an existing benchmark assessment tracker? The students were imported from our SIS when tracker was created and this student has recently enrolled.
My school has traditionally used a script to send files for SIS import, and sends CSV files for users, enrollments, courses, etc. I want to transition this import to use full batch imports for each term. I saw the full batch import script below for Powershell, but we use Linux servers. Does anyone have a version they would…
Hello, we are a school that is new to FACTS this year and are looking for support with syncing grades in Canvas with our SIS, FACTS. We seem to be missing some required functionality. Also, will we be able to be sync grades at the admin level or will teachers be responsible for completing this process as required?…
My school uses that for official grades, and I know that Canvas can send assignments to Skyward, is it possible for Skyward to send back grades? I love Canvas' grade calculator but unfortunately because Skyward is "the most accurate reflection of a student's grade" according to my school, how can Skyward be better used…
