Canvas Corner
Canvas/Aeries Sync
At this time, most of the issues with the Canvas and Aeries sync have been resolved for elementary, and now all students should be actively enrolled and grades should have repopulated in their Canvas gradebooks.
The grade passback service has been fixed for secondary teachers. However, some teachers may experience inconsistencies in their attempts to push their Canvas grades to Aeries. Thankfully, one of our amazing teachers at Muir, Ashley Butler, has put together a few videos to help with the most common of these issues.
If you continue to have issues with the grade passback feature after trying the tips outlined in these videos, please first reach out to your site Innovator for support. If they cannot help you, please submit a ticket and we will do our best to help you. Thank you for your patience on this issue. We know it has been a source of stress for many of you.
Tips & Updates
There have been recent updates with Kami's Canvas integration. If you see a pop up asking if you're the owner of a document, that is expected behavior and it's ok to proceed. If you are having issues with this integration, please contact Kami or Canvas Support.
There was recently an update to the Canvas Teacher iOs app. If you are having issues with this update, please reach out to Canvas for support.
It's Due is a new Canvas course that you can self-enroll in to learn how to help students submit assignments. Learn more HERE.

- Canvas/Webex Reauthorizing - If you get a message in Canvas that says your Webex authorization has expired, you can fix this by logging out of Canvas (from your Account in the Global Navigation Bar) and then back in.
