Documentation

Canvas week

Needs Claude in Chrome on (/chrome) and the school Google account signed into Chrome.

1. Read

Open a NEW tab to the district Canvas (Frisco ISD: https://friscoisd.instructure.com). Never reuse one of his open tabs.
Dashboard first: the To Do and Coming Up panels. Then each course card: Assignments sorted by due date, plus Announcements from the last 7 days (teachers put test dates there).
Pull: title, course, due date and time, points, and whether it is submitted.
Close every tab you opened when done.

2. Report

One list, by date, nearest first. Format:

Mon 10/20  APUSH    Unit 4 reading quiz          10 pts   not submitted
Tue 10/21  Precal   HW 3.4                       completion
Thu 10/23  AP Lang  TEST: rhetorical analysis    major

Then: anything overdue, anything with no due date but 50+ points, and any announcement that mentions a test, quiz, project, or deadline.

3. Calendar

Tests, quizzes, projects, and major grades go on his Google Calendar (personal account) as TEST: <class> <topic>, QUIZ: ..., or DUE: <class> <title>. Check for an existing event first so nothing doubles.
For a test: also add a 1 hour Study: <class> block two evenings before, avoiding anything already on the calendar.

4. Notes

Write the week into ~/school/Notes/Week.md (overwrite, dated at top).
Any new test or deadline also goes into that class's note as a dated line, and its Current state block gets updated.
