Google Classroom keeps each class's work in its own stream, which gets hard to follow once you have several classes and a life outside them. Secretariat reads your active Classroom classes and their assignments into one dated list, alongside your calendars and other apps, and checks off what you've already turned in.

The problem

Classroom tells you what's assigned in each class, but your club meetings, work shifts and other to-dos live somewhere else. Looking in three places every morning is how something gets missed.

How Secretariat handles Classroom

  • Sign in with Google to connect Classroom. Secretariat reads your active classes and their published assignments that have a due date.
  • Each assignment goes on your list on its due day, under its class, with a link back to it in Classroom. If Classroom gives no time, it's due that day on your own clock.
  • Work you've already turned in, or that came back graded, comes in checked off.
  • Your Google Calendar, Outlook, Notion, Todoist, Google Tasks, Microsoft To Do, Slack and GroupMe can go on the same list.
  • If your syllabus is a separate document, upload it in Settings, Your classes, and the dates only it lists go on your list too.

What it reads and what it won't do

  • It reads your classes and your own assignments, with due dates and whether you turned each one in. It never reads grades, posts or files from Classroom.
  • It only reads your own work. It never turns anything in or posts in a class.
  • Assignments without a due date in Classroom don't go on the list, since there's no day to put them on. Add those yourself.

Common questions

Does it work if my school doesn't use Canvas?
Yes. Google Classroom connects on its own, and so do Blackboard, Brightspace and Moodle by calendar link. You can also use Secretariat with only your calendars and apps.
Will Secretariat see my grades in Classroom?
No. For Classroom it reads your classes, your own assignments, their due dates and whether you turned each in. Never grades, posts or files.
Will it turn things in or mark them done in Classroom?
No. It only reads Classroom. Checking something off in Secretariat stays in Secretariat.
