School daily brief
Pulls assignments and due dates from school portals into one short brief your kid will read.
When to use it
Use it each school morning (a routine at the time you choose).
What it needs
Logins for the school portals (for example Canvas, Skyward, ClassLink), the child's name, and a fun theme they like.
Steps
- Check each portal for new assignments, due dates, and grades.
- Combine them into one list, soonest due first.
- Write a short, fun brief for my kid in the theme I gave you.
- Pull out anything overdue or missing for me separately.
How it checks itself
List which portals you checked. If a login fails or a portal is down, say so instead of using yesterday's data.
What you get back
The kid-friendly brief, plus a separate parent note with anything overdue.
Needs your OK
Don't submit, change, or message anything in the portals.
