Flow -share tasks with email reminders set up

Hi

I am quite new to PA, but have built some simple forms to email and excel lists. I am looking to see how I can reduce admin in schools. 

Our learning support department regularly sends out documents on students that teachers need to fill in. Learning support admin spend a lot of time checking who has completed each document and then sending follow up emails. It would be good to automate this process. 

I am thinking of Using planner to share a task to people's to do. The task would have a link to the word file that needs to be completed. 

Once updated, they would mark the task/to do as complete. 

If not done by the deadline a reminder email (and also a reminder in advance of the deadline) would be sent to both the admin team and the teacher who has not completed the task. 

Whilst I can see the value of using apps like planner/ to do, that is a big culture shift, so I need all reminders to be on email. (if can put links to a task in the email, even better). 

We have 100+ teachers and 1000 students, every document that will be sent out will go to a different set of teachers. 

If you could advise on the simplest way to start building this flow and suggest the best apps to start with, that would be great. 

thank you
