What does ClassWatcher actually see?
  • It reads only the Brightspace assignment and quiz pages you open: student names and submission status — plus quiz/assignment grades if you use the Marks or Parent Report features.
  • Your class lists are stored in your own browser, not on our servers.
  • We never store assignment content, feedback, or files. Message logs are kept for your records and purged after 365 days.

100 messaging credits included free with every new account.
1 credit = 1 SMS  ·  0.2 credits = 1 email  ·  so 100 credits = up to 100 texts or 500 emails
Nothing falls through

Every parent contact, logged automatically

Every text and email you send is logged against that student, so you always know who you contacted, when, and what you said. Add your own notes for the things that happen off-platform — a phone call home, a hallway conversation, a word with the office — and they sit in the same history.

  • 🕒See at a glance who you haven't contacted in a while
  • 📝Add notes for calls and conversations that happen off-platform
  • 👥Contact history follows the student — sign in anywhere and it's there
  • 📊Export the whole contact history to Google Sheets or a spreadsheet
🔒
Your class data stays in your browser ClassWatcher reads Brightspace pages locally in your browser, so class lists, names, and submission status are never uploaded to our servers. The one exception is messaging: when you text or email a parent, that message goes through our delivery provider and a log is kept for your records.
One click to a Sheet

Export missing work to Google Sheets in one click

With one click, ClassWatcher pushes your entire missing-work grid straight into a Google Sheet. Every student, every assignment, colour-coded with ✓ and ✗, ready to share with admin, paste into a report, or keep as a record.

I used to spend 20 minutes before every class manually checking who submitted. Now I glance at ClassWatcher, spot the red tiles, and send a quick text before the bell even rings. It's changed how I start every period.

Missing Assignments How to see who hasn't submitted an assignment in D2L Brightspace The built-in method, its limits, and a faster way that takes two seconds. Parent Communication How to contact students or parents about missing assignments in D2L Brightspace Elementary, high school, or college: who you contact differs. Here's what works at each level.

Common questions

Which Brightspace page do I need to be on?

ClassWatcher activates on specific pages — not every Brightspace page.

For a quiz: you must be on the Grade Quiz page — the one that lists all student submissions. Open the quiz and click the Grade Quiz button. Just clicking the quiz name to read its description won't work.

For an assignment: you must be on the Submissions page — the one that shows every student's submission status. Opening the assignment description page isn't enough.

Shortcut: go to the assignment list or quiz list page and use the Watch buttons ClassWatcher adds beside each row — no need to open each one individually.

Is ClassWatcher free?

Yes — ClassWatcher is completely free through October 1, 2026. No credit card required. Paid plans start at $8/month CAD after that.

Does it work with my school's Brightspace?

ClassWatcher works with any D2L Brightspace setup, including schools with custom domain names. If your school uses a non-standard Brightspace URL, go to Settings → enter your Brightspace URL and follow the prompt to enable ClassWatcher on your domain.

Does ClassWatcher share student data?

ClassWatcher reads your Brightspace pages locally in your browser — your class lists and student names are never uploaded to our servers. The one exception is messaging: when you text or email a parent, that message goes through our delivery provider and a log is kept for your records.
