Centralize your school's daily academic tasks. Empower teachers to assign, track, and grade student work digitally while giving Principals 100% visibility into academic compliance.
Systemize Your Homework WorkflowRelying on physical diaries, verbal instructions, or informal WhatsApp groups creates massive accountability gaps between teachers, students, and parents.
Are all teachers assigning quality work? Without a system, Principals have no way to track which teachers are engaging students and which are slacking.
Prevent "Homework Overload" where the Math, Science, and English teachers all unknowingly assign heavy projects on the exact same day.
Physical notebooks get lost. A dedicated system maintains a secure digital archive of all assignments and submissions for academic audits.
Modern pedagogy requires more than just "Complete page 42." Empower teachers to create rich, engaging tasks by attaching PDF worksheets, explainer videos, and audio notes directly.
For generations, the school "diary" or "almanac" was the primary bridge between the classroom and the home. At the end of a tiring 40-minute period, the teacher scribbles the assignment on the chalkboard. Students hastily copy it down. If a student is absent, writes it illegibly, or simply "forgets" to note it, the chain of communication breaks completely.
This analog system places the entire burden of communication on the child. Parents are left completely in the dark until they check the diary, leading to the classic evening conflict: "Do you have any homework today?" followed by the inevitable "No." The school has no mechanism to verify if the work was assigned, if the student recorded it, or if the parent was aware of it until the student fails an assessment.
A Homework Management System is a specialized software module—part of a broader School ERP ecosystem—designed to digitize, distribute, and track academic assignments. It shifts the responsibility of communicating academic tasks from the student to an automated cloud platform.
When a teacher creates an assignment in the HMS, it is instantly pushed to the Parent/Student Mobile App. It outlines the exact task, the subject, the assigned date, and the strict submission deadline. This creates an undeniable digital footprint. The system handles the entire lifecycle of the assignment: creation, distribution, digital collection, evaluation, and statistical reporting.
During the pandemic, many schools adopted a quick fix: teachers created WhatsApp groups to post homework. While it solved the immediate communication problem, it created a massive administrative disaster.
Unlike our dedicated School Communication Software, WhatsApp offers zero submission tracking. Teachers are forced to scroll through hundreds of unorganized chat replies to find a student's photo. Furthermore, WhatsApp exposes the teacher's personal mobile number to all parents, destroying professional boundaries. A dedicated HMS provides 100% number masking and structured dashboard tracking.
While assigning homework digitally is great, collecting it digitally is revolutionary. Carrying stacks of 40 heavy notebooks back to the staff room is a physical burden teachers despise.
The SchoolDeck HMS supports full Digital Submission workflows. For subjects like Mathematics, where showing working-out is crucial, students solve the problem in their physical notebook, snap a photo using the SchoolDeck Student App, and upload it against the specific assignment.
The teacher accesses an evaluation dashboard. They can view the uploaded images, assign a grade (e.g., 8/10), and click "Return." The graded assignment instantly pings the student's app, providing a significantly faster feedback loop than waiting days to receive a physical notebook back. These daily grades can then automatically inform the final Report Card Comments at the end of the term.
Academic Directors and Principals cannot physically sit in every classroom to ensure teachers are adhering to the curriculum plan. The HMS acts as an analytical window into the daily pedagogical operations of the school.
The system generates a Teacher Compliance Report. If the school policy dictates that Math homework must be given three times a week, the dashboard will highlight any Math teacher who is failing to meet this metric. It also flags anomalies—if Teacher A has a 95% student submission rate, but Teacher B has a 40% submission rate, the Principal can intervene.
Parental involvement is one of the strongest predictors of student success. The SchoolDeck Parent App turns the parent into an active stakeholder by providing a unified calendar view of all upcoming tasks.
Furthermore, if a student fails to submit an assignment by the deadline, the system can automatically trigger an SMS or push notification to the parent: "Alert: Rahul has missed the submission deadline for the Math Algebra Assignment." This automated accountability loop prevents small academic failures from snowballing.
In a standard school environment, teachers operate independently. The Science teacher doesn't know that the Geography teacher just assigned a massive weekend project. The result is "Homework Clustering"—days where students are crushed under an impossible workload, leading to stress and copied work.
SchoolDeck includes a Workload Balancing Calendar. When a teacher goes to assign a task for Class 8-A, the system displays the existing homework load already scheduled for that class. If the class already has 3 major assignments due, the system can display a warning, prompting the teacher to shift their deadline, actively managing students' cognitive load.
A standalone homework app is inefficient because the teacher must duplicate data. SchoolDeck’s HMS is natively tied to the Academic Lesson Planning Core.
When a teacher completes a topic in their Digital Lesson Planner, the system prompts them to assign the relevant homework. Because the system utilizes a centralized Question Bank, a teacher can simply query "Class 9, Physics, Thermodynamics" and the software will auto-generate a worksheet, saving hours of manual planning.
Absolutely. We understand that Kindergarten and Primary students shouldn't be spending hours uploading files. Teachers can categorize an assignment as an "Offline Task" (e.g., "Read Chapter 4 aloud"). The system still tracks the deadline and notifies the parents, but a digital file upload is not mandatory.
The platform supports a wide array of educational formats. Students can upload JPG/PNG images (photos of their handwritten notebooks), PDFs, Word Documents, Excel Sheets, and even MP3/MP4 files if the assignment requires an audio recitation or a video presentation.
Yes, this is a highly utilized productivity feature. A teacher can draft all the homework assignments for the entire upcoming week on a Sunday evening and set specific "Publish Dates." The system will automatically push them to the students' apps at the specified time.
Because the HMS is connected to the Attendance module, absent students are not left behind. The moment the homework is published, it hits the app of every student in the section. Absent students can view the notes and complete the homework from home.
Make homework a stress-free, measurable, and highly managed process. Give your teachers their time back and your parents the visibility they demand.
