Canvas courses at JGSC come from teachers' gradebooks. K-6 teachers create their courses in Harmony, and about a day later they will appear as courses in Canvas. 7-12 teachers' Canvas courses come from your Guidance department's scheduling in Harmony.

From your list of assignments in Canvas, click on the "sync" icon next to the assignments you want to sync...
OR, you can check the "Sync to SIS" button while or after creating an assignment...
Then, from Harmony > Classroom, click the "Import Canvas Grades" button and WAIT.
In a minute, you'll be able to pick and choose which assignments to import into your Harmony gradebook. Or you can "select all" if you wish. Specify a category for each assignment. That's it!
If you prefer to witness this process, start about 6 minutes into this video.
If you prefer a live human to show you, shoot an email to your friendly tech friends at support@jgsc.freshdesk.com and one will visit you.
Please note: This is not a live, ongoing sync. If you make a change to your Canvas gradebook after syncing with Harmony, you'll need to either sync again or simply adjust your Harmony gradebook accordingly. Your Harmony gradebook is official! That's what feeds report cards, semester averages, GPAs, etc.
The above only works with Canvas courses that were automagically created for you, based on your Harmony gradebooks. If you clicked "Start a New Course" and added students to it yourself, it won't work.

Cross-listing your Sections...
Don't want to add the same stuff to multiple periods? Pick one as your "masta" course and link others to it. Then you only have to add assignments to the masta course. This MUST be done at the beginning of the Term or you will lose submitted assignments!

Pros and Cons of Cross-listing your sections
Once cross linked students can be put into groups (class periods, academic etc). Several options are available for students in groups such as different due dates, test or quizzes and more.
