Which days something is due, at a glance.

A weekly email, Sunday evening, covering the week ahead. One row per teacher, one column per day, a red dot where a deadline lands.

It carries no homework text, on purpose. There is a button to the school's own Homework Hub sheet for the wording — why that matters.

Get it every week

How it works

Your school publishes the Homework Hub: a Google Sheet with one tab per week, one teacher per row, one column per weekday. It is complete and it is authoritative. It is also nineteen rows wide and written in prose, so answering "does anyone have anything due Thursday?" means reading the whole thing.

Homework Dots reads that sheet every Sunday evening, picks out your teachers, works out which days carry a deadline, and mails you the grid.

It reads the prose, not just the dates

Teachers do not write structured data. They write "due tomorrow", "Bring ELA folder by Monday", "Ratios Test on Friday!", "7 Mathia Workspaces due by September 9th". All of those resolve to a day. A test counts as a deadline even though the sheet never says "due" about one, and a cancelled test does not — "No test this Friday" stays blank.

It looks back as well as forward

Teachers announce about a week early. A note written in one week's tab can be the only record that something is due in the next one, so building a week reads the two tabs before it as well. When a dot comes from an earlier tab, the email says so and quotes what the teacher wrote — otherwise you would see a red dot on a day whose cell is empty, with no way to find out what it was.

It tells you when it cannot tell you

If the week has not been filled in yet, you get nothing rather than a blank grid that looks like a working digest. If the sheet moves or breaks, nobody gets a confident-looking email built on it. Every digest says when the sheet was read, because a teacher may post ten minutes later.

Why there is no homework text

This is the one deliberate omission, and the thing most likely to look like a missing feature. The email is a parent's weekly overview: enough to know that Wednesday is going to be busy and Thursday has something due. Finding out what is assigned, and doing it, stays your child's job — the sheet is right there, and the email links to the exact week.

What it is not

Not affiliated with, endorsed by, or run by the school. Homework Hub is their sheet and their name for it; this is an unofficial tool built by a parent, which is why it is not named after it. It reads the same page everyone else can read.
