Sync Comments from Canvas to PowerSchool via SIS

This idea has been developed and deployed to Canvas

Sync assignment comments from canvas to powerschool! This feature would be SUPER helpful for communicating with parents. I'd love parents to be able to see feedback from the comment field and would really help streamline teacher->parent communication. Is this feature possible?

Thanks for sharing this idea. As it moves forward for further discussion, consider that development of an enhancement like this to the integration with PowerSchool would require them to contribute resources to the joint project, so please be sure to let your school's contacts at PowerSchool know of this need.

@mreric We have already worked with PowerSchool to add support for comments to PowerSchool grade passback via an upcoming revamp of the PowerSchool integration. We hope to begin migrating customers to this integration over the next school year.

Syncing comments is supported through our OneRoster integration with PowerSchool.

So, we have to pay for another thing to get what PowerSchool and Canvas already do?

Is there a possibility we can sync comments from Canvas to Skyward SIS? They seemed to pass last year, but now are not.
