Homework shows every item set for your child's class. Some items are handed in online and some are done on paper. Your child can also hand in their own work from their student login; this page does the same for you.

The Homework page in the My child area, as a parent sees it: the homework set for your child's class, what is due and how it was marked.

What you see on the list

The heading says how many items are still to hand in.
To hand in: items not yet submitted. Each shows the title, subject, when it is due (for example due tomorrow or overdue), whether it is optional, and whether it is handed in online or on paper.
Done: items already handed in, with the marks once they are marked.
Pages: both lists are split into pages if there are many items.

Statuses

To do: not handed in yet and not past its due date.
Overdue: not handed in and the due date has passed.
Handed in: submitted and waiting for the teacher.
Marked: the teacher has given marks.
No due date: the teacher set no deadline.
