Canvas API disabled in Skyward - K-12

NinaA

Hello,

How are you handling grade entry during the downtime? We had to disable Canvas APi in our SIS, Does anyone know whether manual grade passback after re-enabling successfully pushes current grades to Skyward? or do you recommend Canvas as "working gradebook" or shifting fully back to Skyward?

Hello @NinaA ,

You might inquire within your district about what they would recommend you do based on their proposed planning. I think I read that Skyward was going to turn their connection to Canvas; however local leadership could delay the connection for your institution.

If your institution reestablishes the connection, instructors could feasibly manually sync scores or, one could presume that the automatic sync would pick up delayed assignments.

If teachers opt to manually enter scores into Skyward, it would be important to turn the sync for those assignments off in Canvas so that duplicate assignments are not created.

Since our school year ends on May 21, we're likely opting to leave our SIS disconnected for the remainder of the year so that we don't have any of the confusion related to manually entering grades vs a corresponding sync of the same assignment.

Good luck!
