Last year I could sync assignments with no grades to powerschool. This year they will not sync unless I enter a grade for one student. How do I fix this?
Hello! I have synced ungraded assignments by doing the following:
1. Clicking "Grade Sync" Tab
2. Clicking "Utilities"
3. Clicking "Remaster Grade Passback"
4. Selecting the assignment that was having problems.
5. Clicking apply.
This may not work for everyone though! Also, sorry about number points. Used to giving instructions to middle schoolers.

Full disclosure...I've not use PowerSchool myself, so I don't have experience syncing grades from Canvas to that system. However, I wanted to share this link with you to the PowerSchool Guides here in the Community...in hopes that maybe one or more of these will be helpful to you. The Guides for instructors are listed at the bottom.

I'm sure that there will be others with more experience using PowerSchool will chime in here, so I'll defer to them for additional help. But, I wanted to give you these links just in case. Hope they help!
I have a ticket in about this but have not had resolution so far.
I am having this same issue in Infinite Campus. I believe the problem lies with Canvas, not our SIS platform of choice. This behavior is very time consuming since we have to manually categorize assignments in IC when they sync, but they only sync as students do them. Until recently, Canvas would let you sync the entire course from the start even when no assignments had been attempted by students.
My guess is Canvas is trying to reduce the load on their servers by only syncing grades that have been graded, but the result is very time consuming for teachers at my location, and one more thing we have to add to our daily list of stuff that should be automatic, like it always was in the past.
Yesterday, after much trial and error…I concluded the new quizzes matching choice options do not work as I expected, and have used with other LMS. I thought that I could provide students a matching choice quiz with multiple attempts that would report incorrectly answered matches on the first attempt, and display the…
I have seen documentation that says you must recopy your iCal link and resubscribe when you are enrolled in new classes, does this mean my iCal feed link changes each time, or do i just need to re-fetch the .ics file?
We use course pacing to manage due dates, because we run ~20 something courses each quarter and manually setting due dates would be a nightmare. Several courses have two core topics. We want to allow students to choose which of these they will pursue first. Is there any way to configure multiple course paces with different…
Hoping someone can explain for me. We're using pacing to avoid manually dating regular assignments each quarter, but the dates I see are based on when the course was instantiated, while students see dates based on when they were added to the course by [backend software I don't know anything about, presumably]. If I set…
Has anyone else had issues with an influx of duplicate users in Canvas? Ours is currently in the form of an email that already exists, becoming a new user - and not automatically merging with the user ID with the same email that also is linked to our SIS ID correctly as well. For example, user 1 is xyz@gmail.com without a…
