Sharing assignments with co-teachers and parents helps create a more connected and supportive learning environment. With Worksheetzone’s Assign Homework feature, you can easily collaborate by inviting co-teachers to manage assignments, sending student reports directly to parents, or sharing secure links for quick access. These options make it simple to divide responsibilities, keep families informed, and ensure students get the guidance they need. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through each method step by step so you can share assignments efficiently and strengthen classroom communication.
You’ll explore:
- Adding co-teachers to manage assignments together
- Emailing reports to parents to keep families updated
- Sharing via secure link for quick and easy access
Step-by-Step: Add a Co-Teacher to an Assignment
Adding co-teachers helps you share responsibilities and make collaboration seamless. Follow these steps to invite colleagues and give them the right permissions.
Step 1: Open the Assignment’s Report Page
You can access the assignment report in two ways:
- Option 1: From the Worksheetzone dashboard, you can see the “Latest Reports” block, click the assignment where you want to add a co-teacher.
Then you’ll be taken directly to the assignment’s report screen, where you’ll see tabs like Overview, Participants, and other controls.
Step 2: Invite a Co-Teacher
- Locate the Co-teacher section (Add Co-Teacher)
- Enter your colleague’s email address and click “Invite”.
- If you want to remove the co-teacher you added before, simply click “Remove” next to the co-teacher’s name.
- The co-teacher, after being invited, will get an email with a “View Report” button to access the assignment.
Step 3: Set Permissions
You can set permissions for a co-teacher to decide what they can do within this assignment. Options include:
- End the assignment
- Change settings
- Comment on student reports
- Edit questions
Step 4: Route Student Submissions (Optional)
If you’d like students to submit directly to a specific co-teacher:
- Toggle “Students submit to specific co-teacher” ON.
- When submitting, students can choose which co-teacher receives their report.
Step 5: Confirm Access
Once added, your co-teacher’s name will appear in the list with their assigned permissions. They’ll be able to open the assignment report, track student progress, and assist with classroom management.
With co-teachers, collaboration becomes easier – whether it’s grading, managing settings, or providing student feedback.
Step-by-Step: Email to Parents
Keeping parents informed is an important part of student success. With Worksheetzone, you can send assignment results directly to parents’ inboxes, ensuring they stay updated on progress and performance.
Step 1: Access Parent Email Options
- Option 1: From the report, click “Report Options” and choose “Email to Parents”.
- Option 2: Go to the “Participants” tab, where you’ll see all students who were assigned the homework along with their progress.
Step 2: Add Parent Email Addresses
For each student:
- Find the “Email to Parents” option next to their name.
- Enter one or more parent/guardian email addresses.
Tip: You can add multiple addresses if both parents or guardians should receive updates.
Step 3: Send Homework Reports
After entering parent/guardian email addresses, click “Send”. Worksheetzone will automatically send an email to the parents’ inbox with a “View Full Report” button, which parents can click to see their child’s detailed performance.
This ensures parents get an easy-to-read update with direct access to their child’s results.
Step 4: Manage Parent Communication
At any time, you can update parent email addresses in the “Report Options”. Parents will only see their one child’s report, not the entire class.
Step-by-Step: Share via Secure Link
Sometimes you may want to give quick access to an assignment report without adding a co-teacher or emailing parents directly. Worksheetzone makes this easy with the Share via Secure Link option.
Step 1: Open Share Report
- From the assignment’s Report page, click on the “Report Options”.
- Choose “Share Report”.
Step 2: Add Emails (Optional)
In the pop-up,
- Enter the email address of the person you want to share the report with, such as a parent or another teacher.
- Click “Invite” to send them direct access.
Step 3: Copy the Secure Link
If you prefer, use the “Copy Link” button. This generates a unique, secure link that you can paste into an email, message, or group chat.
Step 4: Manage Access
The “People with Access” section shows who currently has permission to view the report. You can review or update this list at any time to ensure only the right people can see student results.
