Hi there @TylerHarubin ,

Welcome to the Instructure Community!

In the quiz settings, you're able to click on two different check boxes. One is Do not count this assignment towards the final grade, and the other is Do not display in gradebook or the student's grade page. Do you think this would be a solution for you?

Hi @TylerHarubin,

I have an option for you to consider if you are using the "Weight final grade based on assignment groups" feature.

You could create an assignment group that is named something to the effect of "Does Not Count Towards Final Grade" and make it work 0% of the final grade. Doing this means that you could be anything type of graded content into this assignment group. On an individual basis, the graded content would still have a grade associated with it but it would not count towards the final grade.

Allow Observers to View Instructor Comments
It would be very beneficial for observers (parents) if they could view instructor comments. If they had access to this information, they could better understand the grading of individual assignments and better understand the errors that their student made.
