We are noticing that in certain instances unscored assignments in Canvas are being passed back to PowerSchool as zeros. Has anyone noticed the same thing with grade passback and do you have a solutions for this?
@KevinStachowski -
I don't use power school, but just a thought about what may be causing this grade passback. Do you have the treat ungraded items as 0 selected for the gradebook? This only shows up in the Canvas grade book after the until date of the project (or possibly the due date) has passed. You did not mention what the Canvas grade book looked like as far as grades showing and you did not mention if the assignment was past the due/until date - so I just put this information out there as a possibility.
I also have seen this. It is very random. I have many students that are graded and some that have no score for an assignment. On passback, one showed a zero in PowerSchool, but was not graded in Canvas. The rest of the ungraded students were passed back correctly to PowerSchool as no grade. I don't know why one particular student is getting zeros. I try to re sync, but it continues to come over as a zero for her.
I found out what happened in once instance of this problem. The teacher had entered scores for the assignment in Canvas, realized she had entered them for the wrong grade column, and then removed them. This assignment where the grades had been removed came over to PowerSchool as zeros.
I have had a teacher report the same. She enters exempt for students and leaves the grade empty. In PS the grade shows as a zero.
I'm surprised this hasn't been resolved yet. This is a huge issue for people that only use zeros as a placeholder grade.
We are having this issue as well. When we go to finalize grades and run a remaster, PowerSchool pulls in zeros for random blanks and it's never consistent. It's frustrating that our teachers can't leave blanks in the Canvas gradebook just in case a zero is pulled randomly. It's an extra frustration at a time when our teachers are already frustrated. Can we please work on a fix that doesn't require extra work for teachers?

The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
On the new "traditional" rubrics, the scroll bar is only at the bottom. This means on a very large rubric with a lot of ratings, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to access the scroll bar in order to see all of my ratings and/or if I need to make a comment. This is cumbersome and time consuming. On the original…
When in Speed Grader, under the "Grade by question" option, the Next Student and Previous Student buttons no longer work.
Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
