Do any districts/schools pass ONLY the final grade in a course from Canvas to PowerSchool? Is there a way to do that? Thanks!
@jcrawford - We do this with a bit of a hack....as you probably read in the earlier thread. I create an assignment via the API and that's all that is passed to PowerSchool. I'm going to investigate further...I have an idea for making this better...but it will take some time.
I'm just up the road a bit in Rock Hill...we probably need to talk and share notes...
Hi @codom and @jcrawford -- I would also love to hear about any workarounds you're using to push final grades from Canvas into Powerschool! I feel like we've exhausted every possible option this year trying to find a solution that would accomplish this and we really haven't had any luck.
I'm with a K12 district in NJ and we've been using Canvas for 4 years at the high school but are new to Powerschool this year, so any insight you have would be very much appreciated!
If you'd be interested in collaborating please reach out to me at lane.worrall@msdk12.net.
Thanks!

We are just beginning the implementation you all are talking about. Our initial thought was to only pass back a final grade as well, but the more we get into it the more likely we are to pass back more often. For example, we have turned off the displaying grades to parents in PowerSchool and have made it clear that parents need to be in Canvas to see assessment feedback, grades, and course content. That frees us up to pass grades as needed for things like getting athletic eligibility, which has been a challenge in Canvas. Look forward to hearing how other folks are handling this!

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…
