Missing Assignment Notifier
Find missing work for the day, week or month, then send each student and family a ready-to-go note.
Open each message in Gmail or Outlook to review and send, or copy it into your school's messaging system. Each message goes to one family only. Marking it as sent logs today's date on that student.
Each message gets a link for every catch-up date. Families tap one to add a reminder to Google Calendar on Android, iPhone or a computer. Reminder titles show the assignment only, never the student's name, because calendar alerts can appear on a phone's lock screen.
Turn this on and each message tells the family to open the attached file. Use the Calendar file button on a message to copy that family's file, save it as catch-up-dates.ics, and attach it to your email.
Upload a gradebook export
CSV or Excel from PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward, Canvas, Schoology and similar. One row per student per assignment works best.
Recognized columns: Student, Student Email, Parent Email, Class, Assignment, Due Date, Status or Score. A row counts as missing when the status says Missing / Not turned in, or the score is blank after the due date.
Google Classroom
- In Classroom, open the class and go to Grades.
- Click the gear icon, then Download grades as CSV.
- Drop that file below. Blank cells on past-due assignments become missing work.
Classroom's export has no parent emails. Add them once under Templates & settings → Family contacts.

Your details
Family contacts
One per line: Student name, parent email. Fills in parent emails missing from your data.
How you send email
Gmail and Outlook open a ready-to-send draft in a new tab, signed in as you. Copy is always available for schools that use another system, like ParentSquare, Remind or your LMS.
Privacy
When on:
- No student names appear in email subject lines, which show in inbox previews and notifications.
- Your own summary uses initials instead of full names.
- Each message goes to one student or one family, never a group.
Laws such as FERPA (U.S.) protect student records. Check your district's rules before sending grades to personal email addresses.
Recovery plans
Plans put the oldest work first and spread it over the next school days. The full Missing Work Recovery Planner in the toolbox can take it from there.
Report schedule
When a report is due, a reminder appears at the top of this page. In the Roji mobile app, the reminder comes as a notification on your phone, set up on the device itself.
Used for all calendar reminders.
Get reminders when this page is closed
Add each report to your own calendar, and your calendar alerts you on your phone or computer. Reminders only say which report is due. They never include student names or grades, and nothing is sent to Roji.
Apple Calendar (iCal), Samsung Calendar and other calendar apps
A calendar file (.ics) with every report above, already set to repeat. It also works in Outlook for Windows and Mac, and keeps the repeat there.
- Click Copy calendar file.
- Paste it into a plain-text file (TextEdit in plain-text mode, or Notepad) and save it as roji-reminders.ics.
- Open that file. Your calendar app will offer to add the reminders.
