For the half-effort that needs a real second pass.

Canvas sees a submission and a grade. You see what actually happened. Redo Needed is the family-side flag for assignments that technically count but really don't — without losing the original grade history.

Some assignments come back graded but obviously incomplete — the essay that’s three paragraphs instead of the assigned five, the problem set with five answers blank, the wrong-file upload that still got a number on it. Canvas treats those as done. Redo Needed says: not done in our house.

Tap Redo Needed and the card moves into a high-visibility bucket on both the parent and kid sides. Pair it with a comment about whatneeds the redo — “you skipped problems 6-10” — and the conversation has somewhere to live until the work actually gets done.

The original Canvas grade stays untouched. Redo Needed is a family-side overlay, not a Canvas edit. When your kid resubmits or you decide the rewrite is good enough, flip to Verified and the assignment closes.

Pearsight is a direct-to-consumer parent dashboard purchased by parents on behalf of their K-12 children. Although we may integrate as an institutional vendor or store a school-wide database it is only in those cases that we would require a district DPA (Data Privacy Agreement). Individual parents utilize their own FERPA-guaranteed right of access to authenticate their personal Canvas observer account. We do not sell, track, or re-disclose student data. The paying parent (18+) creates the family account, which constitutes verifiable parental consent under COPPA. Children do not sign up directly — their access is parent guided. Pearsight aligns with all global privacy standards and children protection standards, including GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, PECR, PIPEDA, SOPIPA, COPPA, and FERPA. See Privacy and Security for our full data-handling stance.
