Stop re-entering grades.
Push from Canvas to Frontline
in one click.

FrontlineSync is a Chrome extension that reads your Canvas gradebook and writes grades directly into Frontline TEAMS — no spreadsheets, no copy-paste, no wasted planning period.

How It Works
Three steps. Done.

FrontlineSync runs entirely inside your browser. There's no software to install beyond the Chrome extension, and no student data ever leaves your machine.

1

Open Canvas & click Push to Frontline

Make sure your Frontline gradebook is already open and logged in on a separate browser tab. Then, on any Canvas course Grades page, click the Push to Frontline button in the top left. FrontlineSync reads grades from Canvas using your existing logged-in session.

💡 Best practice: Before clicking Push to Frontline, use the Start Date and End Date filter on the Canvas Grades page to set your current grading period. This narrows the assignment list down to only what's relevant right now, making it much faster to find and match the assignment you want to push.
2

Match to a Frontline column

FrontlineSync scans your open Frontline gradebook and suggests the matching assignment column using smart matching. It usually gets it right automatically, and you can always adjust the selection manually before pushing.

3

Grades appear in Frontline

FrontlineSync writes each student's score directly into Frontline in seconds instead of hours. Just sit back and watch it go — don't click anything or switch tabs while the sync is running or it may interrupt the process.

4

No column yet? Create it in seconds.

Frontline's built-in interface for creating assignment columns is clunky and time-consuming. With FrontlineSync, you can create brand-new Frontline assignment columns using our clean, modern interface — setting the name, category, and point value — and push grades, all in a single workflow. No more hunting through Frontline menus just to build a column before you can enter a single grade.

Features
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.
⚡

One-Click Grade Push

Select an assignment, pick a column, click Push. FrontlineSync fills every student's score in your open Frontline gradebook tab automatically — no typing, no clicking around in Frontline. Your Frontline gradebook must be open and logged in on a separate tab for this to work.

🏗️

Create Assignment Columns in Bulk

Push multiple assignments at once and create their Frontline columns in a single batch — category, point value, and dates all set through FrontlineSync's streamlined interface instead of Frontline's slow, manual process.

🔍

Smart Matching

Automatically matches Canvas assignment names to Frontline columns even when the names aren't identical. Manual override is always available — just pick from the dropdown.

📋

DAEP Grade Manager Select Districts

Built-in tools for managing DAEP students — import the DAEP Placement Spreadsheet, track placement stints, upload Edgenuity PDFs to automatically extract student grades, and push those grades into Frontline without ever touching the data manually.

Currently only available for select districts.

🔄

Teaching multiple periods of the same subject?

Push grades to all your Frontline sections from a single Canvas assignment. FrontlineSync handles each period in turn so you don't have to repeat the process.

📌

Mapping Memory

Once you've linked a Canvas assignment to a Frontline column, that mapping is saved. Each week when you update grades, it's already done — no re-selecting columns every time.

🔐

FERPA Compliant by Design

Student data never leaves your browser. No third-party server ever sees a student name, ID, or grade score. See the FERPA section below for the full technical breakdown.

🛠️

Simple Setup, No IT Required

Install the Chrome extension, paste in your Canvas API token and Frontline domain, and you're done. No server configuration, no district approval needed for individual licenses.

Semi-Automatic & Fully Automatic Modes

You're in control of how much FrontlineSync does on its own. Choose your comfort level right from the Push to Frontline modal in Canvas.

Semi-Automatic — FrontlineSync enters all the grades for one class period, then stops and waits. You review the grades and click Save in Frontline when you're satisfied. Then you go back to Canvas and push the next period. You stay in control of every save. Perfect for first-time users or anyone who wants a second set of eyes before anything is committed.
Fully Automatic — FrontlineSync enters grades, clicks Save, and automatically moves on to the next class period — handling every section in a single uninterrupted run. Just start the job and walk away. Ideal once you trust the process and want maximum efficiency.
Why It Matters
Time back in your day. Every day.

Grade entry is one of the most time-consuming and error-prone tasks a teacher does. FrontlineSync eliminates it.

45+

Minutes saved per assignment

Manually entering 100+ student grades into Frontline — clicking each cell, typing the score, tabbing to the next — takes 15–45 minutes depending on class size. FrontlineSync does it in under 60 seconds.

Zero

Transcription errors

Human error in manual grade entry is inevitable — transposed digits, skipped students, wrong rows. FrontlineSync reads directly from Canvas and writes exactly what's there. The grade in Canvas is the grade in Frontline, every time.

100%

Your planning period back

Teachers using FrontlineSync report getting their planning period back on grade update days. Instead of spending it clicking through Frontline, you're actually planning — or just taking a breath.

1×

Enter grades once, not twice

Canvas is where you grade. Frontline is where the district requires grades to live. FrontlineSync makes those two a single system — grade in Canvas, and Frontline takes care of itself.

🛡️

Designed to be FERPA-compliant from day one.

FERPA requires that student education records — including grades — be kept confidential and not disclosed to unauthorized parties. FrontlineSync was built with this as a hard constraint, not an afterthought.

The architectural choice that makes this possible is simple: grades travel directly between your Canvas tab and your Frontline tab, inside your own browser. They are never uploaded to any server along the way.

For administrators and IT: The only external server FrontlineSync communicates with is its license validation endpoint, which receives a license key string for validation — nothing else. It has no access to Canvas or Frontline and never receives any student data. Assignment-to-column name mappings (for example, "Test 1" → "Assessment #1") are optionally cached on this server to speed up repeat syncs; these contain no student names, IDs, or scores of any kind.
  • ✓
    Student grades never leave your browser
    Grade data flows from the Canvas tab to the Frontline tab through the Chrome extension's background service — entirely on your local machine. No external server is involved in the grade transfer at any point.
  • ✓
    Canvas API token stored only on your device
    Your Canvas API token is stored in Chrome's local extension storage — meaning it lives only in your browser on your computer. It is never transmitted to FrontlineSync's servers or any third party.
  • ✓
    No student names or IDs stored externally
    Student IDs are used locally at runtime to match Canvas submissions to Frontline rows. They are never sent to any server, logged, or persisted anywhere outside your own browser.
  • ✓
    No tracking, analytics, or third-party scripts
    FrontlineSync contains no analytics libraries, tracking pixels, or third-party JavaScript. It makes no network requests other than to Canvas, Frontline, and its own license server.
  • ✓
    Uses your existing authenticated sessions
    FrontlineSync reads grades from Canvas and writes to Frontline using your own logged-in browser session — the same access you already have as the classroom teacher. It doesn't create new access or bypass any existing permissions.

Everything you need is already available inside Canvas and Frontline. Follow these steps in order and you'll be pushing grades before the period ends.

1

Purchase a license key

After checkout you'll receive a license key by email. It looks like STAN-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Keep it handy — you'll paste it in during step 5. Use your school-issued email address when purchasing, not a personal email — this ensures your license is tied to your professional account.

2

Install the Chrome extension

Click the link below to open the FrontlineSync page in the Chrome Web Store, then click the big blue Add to Chrome button. When a small popup appears asking to confirm, click Add extension. That's it — no restarting Chrome needed.

3

Get your Canvas API token

FrontlineSync needs a Canvas API token to read your grades. Here's exactly how to get one:

1. Log into Canvas.
2. Click your account avatar in the top-left corner.
3. Click Settings.
4. Scroll all the way down to the section called Approved Integrations.
5. Click + New Access Token.
6. In the Purpose field, type FrontlineSync. Leave the expiry blank.
7. Click Generate Token.
8. Copy the token right now — Canvas will only show it once. Paste it somewhere safe like Notepad until step 5. Your token is stored only on your computer and is never sent to FrontlineSync's servers.
4

Find your Frontline domain

Your Frontline domain is the web address your district uses for Frontline. Every district has a unique one. Here's how to find it:

1. Open a browser tab and log into your Frontline gradebook as you normally would.
2. Look at your browser's address bar at the very top of the window — it shows the current URL.
3. You'll see something like this:

yourisd.erp.frontlineeducation.com/grading/...

4. The part you want is everything before the first slash after .com. For example: yourisd.erp.frontlineeducation.com

The first part — before .erp.frontlineeducation.com — is your district's unique name. Every district has its own.
5

Open FrontlineSync Settings and enter your information

Now you'll put everything together. Here's exactly how to get to the Settings page:

1. Look at the very top-right corner of your Chrome browser window. You'll see a row of small icons to the right of the address bar.
2. Find the puzzle piece icon (Chrome Extensions icon) — that's the Extensions button. Click it.
3. A small menu will drop down showing your installed extensions. Find FrontlineSync in the list.
4. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) next to FrontlineSync, then click Options — this opens the Settings page.

On the Settings page:

5. Paste your Subscription Key from step 1.
6. Paste your Canvas API Token from step 3.
7. Type in your Frontline Domain from step 4.
8. Click Test Connection to confirm your license is active.
9. Click Save Settings.
6

Push your first assignment

You're ready. Here's how to do your first grade push:

1. Open your Frontline gradebook in one browser tab and make sure you're logged in.
2. In a separate tab, open Canvas and go to a course's Grades page.
3. Look in the top left of the Grades page — you'll see the Push to Frontline button added by FrontlineSync.
4. Click it, select the assignment you want to push, pick the matching Frontline column, and click Push.
5. FrontlineSync will switch to your Frontline tab and start entering grades automatically. ⚠️ Important: Once the grade sync starts, do not click anything, switch tabs, or touch your mouse until FrontlineSync finishes. Interacting with the browser during the sync can interrupt the process and cause grades to be entered incorrectly or stop mid-way.
