[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do APS elementary schools use ParentVUE for ongoing grade updates? I’m an APS elem teacher and my kids attend a different APS elementary school and ParentVUE at the elementary level at both schools is not updated daily with grades and assignments like it is for my middle and high school kids. So unless the OP was following canvas on their students iPad or as a parent observer, without teacher contact how would they know?

Also my class frequently does not get to some canvas assignments I make or get to them when I originally plan to use them and I don’t use canvas grade book so it would look to parents like there is lots of late assignments but they aren’t. But regardless after a day or 2 of no work I’d be in touch with parents to follow up.[/quote]

Thank you - as the parent of an elementary student, parentvue seems to only list my child’s quarterly grade report and attendance.  We get at least a dozen assignment related notifications every day through canvas, and we eventually started tuning them out when our kid showed us he understood  where to find and how to submit assignments.  If I were to suggest one useful upgrade to canvas, it would be a special notification that gets issued whenever an assignment receives the designation of “missing.”  Make it a different color.  Make sure it auto-generates an annoying “warning” email every day until the status changes.  Much more useful to me as a parent than receiving a notification every time a new assignment is created.[/quote]

This is why it sucks that APS gave out ipads instead of laptops. The web browser version of canvas is so much easier. Missing stuff gets a MISSING stamp. There is a feed back and to do area that lists missing assignments. [/quote]

I'd agree with that; however, (1) elementary kids don't need laptops; (2) Canvas is still a challenge for older students on laptops because of the inconsistency in use by teachers - and no, not all teachers get Parent/StudenVue updated weekly.  And even if they do, why should there be two places to have to check for grades and missing/late assignments?[/quote]
