Setup workflow

  1. Teachers need active class-subject assignments.
  2. Wire homework due-reminder cron via scripts/run-school-cron.sh (same FEES_CRON_SECRET or session cookie as fee jobs).
  3. Cron POSTs /api/homework-assignments/due-reminders/run - in-app reminders for published assignments due within the next 24 hours for students who have not submitted.

Usage workflow

  • Teacher: /assignments → New → due date, attachments, class-subject; publish so students see it.
  • Student: submit before due date; late submission follows school practice.
  • Teacher: grade and optional comment - visible on the student assignment view.
  • Reminders: only published assignments; deduped so students are not spammed daily.
