Supervisors and monitors use the Homework page to assign PACE page ranges to individual students for home study, then verify at goal check that the work was actually done. This page covers the Assign tab, My Assignments, Pending Verifications, and Missed tabs.
You only see and act on students who sit in a learning centre you are assigned to. Administrators do not use this page; the report at Homework Completion Report is where administrators review homework standings.

Assign homework

Assignments are single-student, single-PACE. There is no centre-wide bulk assignment in the current UI.
1

Open Homework

Go to Homework in the sidebar and land on the Assign tab.
2

Select a student

Choose from the list of students in your assigned learning centres.
3

Select an active PACE

Only PACEs the student is currently in progress on are listed. If the student has none in progress, the list shows a hint instead.
4

Enter the page range

Free text, up to 100 characters (for example “pp 12-17”).
5

Confirm or change the due date

The date field is pre-filled with the next school day and cannot be set before today.
6

Add notes (optional)

Up to 500 characters, visible to the family.
7

Submit

A pending assignment is created, mirrored onto the shared calendar, and the family is notified immediately.
You cannot assign the same PACE to the same student twice for the same due day. The system rejects the duplicate.

The next-school-day default

The due date defaults to the next school day, not simply tomorrow. Zion computes tomorrow in the school’s timezone, then skips forward past Saturdays, Sundays, and any all-day holiday event on the org’s calendar. You can still override the suggested date to any day from today forward.

My Assignments

The My Assignments tab lists everything you have assigned, grouped by student, with a status chip:
StatusMeaning
PendingAssigned, not yet marked done by the family
Parent DoneFamily marked it done, waiting on your verification
VerifiedYou confirmed the pages were completed
MissedDue date passed while still pending
Cancelled / ExcusedWithdrawn, does not count as missed
Edit and Cancel/Excuse icons appear on pending, parent-done, and missed rows. The delete (trash) icon appears only on pending rows, since a verified assignment is permanent.
Open the edit icon on a pending or parent-done row to correct the page range, due date, or notes. This is unavailable once an item is verified.

Verify at goal check

Verification happens either from the goal-check panel or from the Pending Verifications and Missed tabs described below. There are three ways to move an item to Verified, and verification is terminal: once an item is verified there is no un-verify action.
ActionStarting statusResult
VerifyParent DoneTeacher Verified
Mark done unilaterallyPendingTeacher Verified (used when a parent is unavailable and you confirm the work directly)
Verify (late)MissedTeacher Verified, flagged as a late completion

Pending Verifications tab

This tab lists every unverified assignment, pending or parent-done, across all students in your centres, grouped by student and sorted oldest-due first. Use the same Verify or Mark Done actions here as you would from the goal-check panel.

Missed tab

This tab lists every assignment currently in the Missed state across your centres, most-recently-due first. A daily sweep moves a pending item to Missed once its due date has fully passed, and notifies you and the linked parents. From the Missed tab you can:
  • Verify (late): confirm the work was actually completed after the due date; the record keeps a late flag.
  • Reopen: revert the item back to Pending if it should not have been marked missed, or the student still needs to complete it.
  • Cancel or excuse: withdraw the item as described above; a corrective notice is sent since it had already been flagged missed.
Reopening a missed item sends it back to Pending. It will be swept into Missed again by the next day’s run if it is still incomplete by then.
