LearnWorkly can email students, and parents, about homework so nobody misses a deadline. Emails only go to addresses you have saved for a student, and only after you have confirmed that you have their permission.
Which emails are sent
| Who gets it | When | |
|---|---|---|
| New assignment | Students | When you assign a Self-paced activity. It contains the student’s personal link. |
| New feedback | Students | When you send feedback on their work. At most one email per assignment per day. |
| Due date reminder | Students and parents | About a day before the due date, only to students who have not submitted yet. Paid plans only. |

How reminders work
- Reminders are sent when the due date is less than 24 hours away.
- Homework set less than a day before its due date gets no reminder, because students have only just received it.
- Each student and each parent gets one reminder per assignment.
- Students who have already submitted are skipped.
- Reminders are included on the Solo, Pro and Academy plans. On the Free plan, new assignment and feedback emails still go out.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone stop the emails?
Yes. Every email has a link to unsubscribe in one click, with no login needed. After that, that address gets no more emails.
Can I send a reminder by hand?
Not for homework. Reminders are sent automatically when the due date gets close. For shared documents there is a separate reminder button.
Does a student added after I assign the homework get the new assignment email?
No, that email goes out once, when you assign. They still see the homework when they open the class, and they can still get the due date reminder.
