Automated Code.org Section Setup Checks
Every Monday, WebRun opens the Code.org teacher dashboard, checks each section for an assigned course and joined students, notes the section code, drafts a Twilio reminder to the teachers with gaps for your approval, and posts the setup checklist to Microsoft Teams.
How do I check every Code.org class section is set up before term starts?
WebRun opens the Code.org teacher dashboard every Monday and checks each section for an assigned course and joined students, flagging any that are missing either. It drafts a Twilio reminder to the teachers involved for your approval and posts the setup checklist to Microsoft Teams before week one.
- Week one is spent teaching, not fixing setup
- Sections with no course or no students are named every Monday
- No teacher is texted until you release the draft

WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it text teachers without me seeing it first?
No. Every reminder is queued in Twilio unsent and waits for you to release it, so no teacher is messaged about their section without your approval.
Does it create sections or assign courses itself?
No. WebRun only reads the teacher dashboard. Creating a section, assigning a course, or adding a student stays a teacher action inside Code.org.
Does it report on individual students?
It counts how many students have joined each section and compares that to the expected roster size. It does not report a named student's work or progress.
