What is a T grade?

Are the grades in Canvas more current than in Synergy?

NP - also what is the rocket ship? what does it mean when a paper icon is displayed instead of the grade? where do I find a key for all this?

Is there a way to sort assignments for all classes together by due date so that I can see on 10/6 what is due and what has been turned in or do I have to go thru each class and look?

Similarly, is there a way to search all classes for a list of all late or missing assignments that count toward grade? Or do I ha e to go thru each class?

And, why doesn’t classwork show up on my calendar for all classes? Only 3 out of 7 classes are on the calendar. Is that a setting on my side or the teacher’s?

Also why do ParentVue and the parentMyMCPS page vary so wildly? I one class my kid has 100% in one system and 78% in the other - it’s not a system update issue.

"T" in canvas is text entry submitted and not yet graded.

From what I understand Synergy is having problems. Grades don't transfer automatically from canvas to synergy and if they do, they are often getting messed up.

-Rocket ship is a quiz that either needs to be regraded or graded or the points changed. (Even though canvas calls it a "quiz" it can actually be a homework and not a "quiz" but the tool used to set it up is "quiz" in canvas)
- I don't know a way to search all classes for what's missing or late. You'll have to go through each class.
- If stuff isn't showing up on the calendar make sure that the class is "checked" in the menu on the left side after you click the calendar icon.

I'm not an MCPS teacher but I've been using for canvas for 5 years now and I'm still so frustrated by the little things....

thanks. unbelievable that there’s no way to do a quick search for missing assignments across all classes! that seems like the most obvious need!

Go to Grade tab, it will show what is missing or not graded yet.

Also download canvas on iphone, tablet ect. To Do list automatically shows list of assignments and notification tab will show assignment missing.

There is also an extension in chrome that is suppose to help parents see assignments better. check it out.
