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.
Adding Classes
To use assignments, students must first add classes. Students are required to maintain their own class schedule within this digital planner. To do this, a student must first My Assignments (sometimes called Student Planner) on the app home screen (pictured above). Next, a student will land on the My Assignments page and need to click the Plus (+) sign in the lower right-hand corner (pictured above).
After clicking on the Plus sign, the student will see Classes and Create Assignment. Click Classes to add, edit, or delete a class.
To add a class, click the Plus (+) sign.
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.
This shows a completed Class entry. To add, click the Checkmark

Name - Name the assignment.
Date - Assignment due date, test date, or date based on the student's desire.
Notes - Students can write whatever they want here, which might help remind them of what to do for the assignment, test, etc.
Class - This is where the previously added classes come in. A student must assign every assignment to a class.
Optional - Add Reminders. Students can choose to add reminders on dates before the due date.
Then, the student must click the yellow checkmark to save.
The student can view the assignments on the main Assignments page as a list or in a calendar view. In the calendar view, they must click on specific dates with dots below the dates to see which assignments are due on that date.
