Homework
Homework that reaches the family, and a list of who has not handed it in
Work set against a section and subject, submissions with attachments, late and resubmission rules per assignment, and grading with feedback the student and parent both see.
What the homework module covers
Six kinds of work
Homework, classwork, projects, worksheets, reading and other — so a reading task is not forced into the shape of a hand-in.
Set per section and subject
An assignment belongs to a class, optionally one section, and a subject, and is set by the teacher who teaches it.
Draft, publish, close
Write it as a draft and publish when it is ready. Students see only published work, and closing it ends submissions.
Late and resubmission rules
Each assignment decides whether late work is accepted and whether a student may resubmit. Accepted late work is marked late, not silently on time.
Attachments both ways
The teacher attaches the worksheet; the student attaches their work. Files count against the school's storage, not a teacher's personal drive.
Grading with feedback
Marks out of an optional maximum plus written feedback, recorded against the teacher who graded it and visible to the student.
Why “not submitted” is the list that matters
Setting homework is the easy part. The hard part is knowing, on Thursday morning, which eleven students in 8-B have not handed in Tuesday's worksheet — and knowing it without scrolling through sixty messages in a class WhatsApp group.
A submission here is one record per student per assignment. Resubmitting updates that record and counts the attempt rather than creating a second copy, so “has this student submitted” has a single answer and the teacher's list of missing work is right at a glance.
Not everything is a hand-in. “Read chapter four” is work that is set and seen but never submitted, and treating it as a hand-in would leave every student permanently pending. An assignment can be marked as not needing a submission, which keeps the pending list honest.
Publishing notifies the students and their guardians together, because for a nine-year-old the parent is the one who acts on “due Friday”. Publishing twice does not notify the class twice. The same assignments, marks and feedback appear in the parent portal, so the conversation about missed work happens at home before it happens at the parent-teacher meeting.
Homework: common questions
Can students submit homework online?
Yes. Students submit from their own portal with text and file attachments. Where the assignment allows resubmission, a second attempt updates the same submission and records the attempt number.
Can a teacher see who has not submitted homework?
Yes. There is one submission per student per assignment, so the teacher's view separates who submitted on time, who submitted late, who has been graded and who has handed nothing in.
Do parents see homework and the teacher's feedback?
Yes. The parent portal shows each child's assignments and due dates along with the marks and feedback the teacher recorded, and guardians are notified when new work is published.
What happens to homework submitted after the deadline?
It depends on the assignment. If late work is allowed, the submission is accepted and recorded as late. If it is not, the submission is refused once the due date has passed.
