How do I find which students haven't finished their Newsela assignments?
WebRun checks every past due Newsela article assignment each Monday and lists which students haven't finished the reading or quiz. It logs the chase list to Airtable and adds a follow up note to your Notion lesson planner, so unfinished assignments get caught before the next class starts.
- Unfinished reading assignments surface every Monday, not at grading time
- Teachers get a class by class follow up list without checking each student
- The lesson planner always shows who still needs a nudge

Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it remind students directly?
No. WebRun only logs the list in Airtable and notes it in Notion. Reaching out to students stays with the teacher.
Does it check the quiz too, or just the reading?
Both. An assignment only counts as finished once the reading and the quiz are complete, so partial progress still shows on the list.
Does it separate by class?
Yes. The Airtable list is grouped by class so you can see which section needs the most follow up.
