[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did spend about four hours this weekend with my kid having him show me all the platforms, and it is (to my kid's defense)  messy with 3 platforms plus.  It also involves one teacher who is occasionally posting across two platforms for specific topics that he says "look better" in a certain platform, and another teacher who seems to be giving him zeros on all his assignments which are supposedly missing and then regrading them with a normal grade 2 days later. This has been going on for months, and it's impossible that my kid has missed all the assignments so regularly--he swears the teacher says she doesn't know how to use the systems.

I bought him an old-school paper planner, and will try to give him incentives to keep recording things to do there.  Maybe that will help.

Next weekend we will tackle how to "view comments," which we could not figure out this weekend, if anyone has tips on this.  I keep getting Canvas notifications that comments were made, but get access errors when I try to view them.

FWIW, his old school (not in Maryland) just had PowerSchool integrated with Google Classroom for all his assignments and it was so much clearer. I never had to be involved at all, and there were no missed assignments.[/quote]

I think if you are able to log onto synergy on a computer (not the app on your phone), you can route through to Canvas. In Canvas you can adjust your settings so that when you get the emails, they include the grade and comments. You should use the chrome browser to do this, not safari because reasons. I don’t know why the view comments links don’t work but they always have me errors too.

We also have a teacher whose future assignments sync to synergy with 50 percent credit but nothing is missing because the assignment is in the future.[/quote]
