Before your children can use yourhomework.com to view their homework assignments, you will need to add their student accounts and select their schools and courses. This is done through your Parent's Desk following the simple steps below.

Step 1. Log on to the Parent's Desk

If you are not already logged in, you will need to do so to see the Parent's Desk and set up your student accounts. In the login box at the top right of most pages, enter the username and password you chose at registration. Remember that these are case-sensitive. If you have forgotten them, check your registration email, or click the Lost Password? link. If you have logged on successfully, you will see the Parent's Desk. However, if you did not set up any student accounts during registration, you will see the student account setup page.

Step 2. Add your student accounts

If you have already added all your student accounts at registration, proceed to Step 3.

If you have been directed to the student account setup page, this is because you did not register any students during your own registration. You may set them up now by selecting the number of new accounts you wish to add, selecting Free or Premium, and entering the details of each child in the forms presented. When you have completed this, click the link to go to the Desk.

If you set up at least one student account at registration, but wish to add more, click the Add additional student accounts icon in the box labeled Your parent account. Then enter the details of the additional student accounts you need.
 

Step 3. Select your schools and courses

If no school or course has been previously selected for a student, answer YES to the question "Would you like to add YourChild's school and courses now?"

If a school or course has been previously selected for a student, you can click the Update courses icon to add more courses, or modify existing ones.

Your browser will display the school search page. You can find the correct school, teacher, and course in a number of ways. Either:

• Enter the Course ID. If your teacher has informed you of this, simply enter the 5-digit number here. This will select the correct school, and assign the correct course to the student.
  or
• Enter the school's zip code. A list of schools in that zip code will be displayed. Click on your school name to select it.
  or
• Find your school from the drop down lists. Select the country, state and city, and a list of schools in that area will be displayed. Click on your school name to select it.

On the next page, you will see a list of teachers and courses at your school. To assign courses to your student, click the Add button beside the course name. (If you used the Course ID method above, one course will already be assigned.) You can move your mouse cursor over the Course ID number to view the course description.

If you accidentally select the wrong course, click the Drop button beside the course name. If you selected the wrong school, click the Select New School link above the Selected Courses table.

When you have selected all the courses for this student, click Return to Desk.

If you have other students registered, follow the same process for these accounts.
 

Parent's Desk - Your student accounts.

Beside each student's name displayed on the Parent's Desk, a number of icons allow you to select various options. These are:

View homework

This is probably the icon you will use the most. Here you will see the list of courses your child is subscribed to, and can view the assignments for each course. In this view, you can:

View your student's assignments

A list of the student's courses and assignments is displayed. Select the date range you wish to see by clicking on Current, Next 7 Days, Past 7 Days or All, then click on each Due Date to see the assignment due on that day. You can print one or all of the assignments by clicking on the printer icons.
