notes on individual assignments in gradebook
Is it possible for an instructor to make a note in the grade book on a specific student's assignment? Not a comment for the student to see, but a note in the grade book for the teacher's future reference? Something like, "submitted to me via email" or "got all vocab questions wrong this time." Or if I gave a student an extension or excused an assignment, I might like to make a note for myself about why I did that ("med" or "death in the family") so I can remember when I'm writing comments at the end of the term.
I know there is a "notes" column where we can make one general note about a student, but this would be an option to make notes for ourselves about a student's performance on an assignment or assessment that aren't for the student to see.

Hello there, @KristaFalcone ...
The only option that I am aware of within "Grades" is to enable the general "Notes" column:
How do I use the Notes column in the Gradebook?
I did try searching for existing Feature Ideas here in the Canvas Community, and I wasn't able to find anything (unless I've overlooked something) related to adding notes to specific assignments within a course. So, you might want to consider submitting a new Feature Idea around that topic.

- What is the feature development process for Instructure products?
- How do I create a new idea conversation in the Instructure Community?
Sorry that I don't have better news for you, but I hope this has helped to answer your question in some way.

Yes, desperately needed in this age of ever LESS prepared students!
While there is no facility to do this, I've come up with a tiresome workaround. I enter an asterisk in the gradebook, which then creates a red exclamation mark on that assignment. That alerts me during grading to go to my manually made document of alerts. At least this way, I remember!
No 5 stars to click on so not sure what to do here.
