In short

How do I hand off students who fell behind on their Epic! reading goal?

WebRun checks each student's weekly Epic! reading minutes against their goal every Monday and lists who fell short. It drafts a WhatsApp summary for your reading aide and books a small group catch up block on their Google Calendar, so the handoff is ready to review instead of built from scratch by hand.

  • Students behind on reading get a scheduled catch up every week
  • The reading aide gets a ready to review handoff instead of a raw report
  • Catch up sessions are booked automatically around the aide's schedule

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message the aide or parents without me?

No. WebRun only drafts the WhatsApp summary. A human, usually the teacher, reviews and sends it before the aide sees it.

How is the weekly reading goal set?

It uses the goal already set for each student in Epic!, so the handoff reflects your actual classroom targets, not a generic default.

Does it double book the aide's calendar?

No. It checks existing events before booking the catch up block, so it looks for a slot that's actually free.

Put this on autopilot.
