Using The Assignments Feature

Updated over a year ago

My Assignments Overview

My Assignments (also sometimes labeled Student Planner on the app's Home Screen) is a student feature where students can add assignments and remind themselves to accomplish tasks. Students can use this to maintain their own assignment calendar and create to-do lists.

5 fields can have information input. Teacher, Period, and Days are not required to save a class, but Name and Time are both required.

Teacher - Clicking on the Teacher drop-down menu allows the student to search for all active teachers in the app. If a teacher is inactive, a student is not required to add them to use this feature.

The name of the class is required. The student can name the course what they would like.
Period is not required. The period would be when the class meets.
Days are not required. These are the days a class meets. If days are rotating, it may make sense not to add these.
Time is required but managed by the student. A student does not have to change the time. However, they should be mindful that when adding a class, the app defaults to the time of the class being added.
