Canvas submission comments / grades

[Anonymous]

Before this year I was always able to read submission comments on assignments in the parent version of Canvas. This year I don’t see the submission comments when I click the notifications or emails. This is true of both my MS and HS kids. I also no longer see the assignment grade in Canvas but it is in the email notification.

Did MCPS turn off the feature on the parent side?

Why are you reading submission comments for your middle and high school kids - that is the real question

Not OP, but some parents have kids with executive functioning issues. In those cases, I encourage parents to read the comments so that they can assist their child is submitting late work or finishing a partially completed assignment.

Op here and thank you for your kind reply. My kids both have 504 plans and I use the teacher comments to help guide them on their school work. Even if they didn't have 504s, I would still review their graded school work, just like our parents did when physical papers came home in our back packs. It is the same concept, simply digital.

OP--I'm not seeing comments for many classes, but I do see them (in parentvue/canvas link) for one class. So I think it might be teacher-related.
