7 years ago I believe I have the same issue.
I have a 500 error on one of my assignments; it's also the first assignment (here) in my classroom.
Wondering if it may be related to creating a class roster? The assignment was initially working fine, I shared the link, students created their own sandbox projects, they've been working, assignment is working. Then, I created a class roster, linked student names with their GitHub accounts And now I see the 500 error for that assignment.
My other assignments are all viewable normally.
Many thanks!

Hello! Thank you so much for developing GitHub Classroom. So far, my students and I have really enjoyed using the system. In advance of running the laboratory session today, I have tested it repeatedly with small class sizes for our first laboratory assignment and everything always worked correctly.
That is, it was possible to:
However, today when I had 40 people follow the last three steps in this list I could no longer see the list of started assignments. That is, the final step in the above list no longer works. Instead, when I click the following link:
https://classroom.github.com/classrooms/31012255-computer-science-111-fall-2017-at-allegheny-college/assignments/computer-science-111-fall-2017-lab-1
I see a message that declares "Internal Server Error" and then error code 500. It turns out that I have never seen this error after testing GitHub Classroom with the same assignment for approximately the past 1-2 weeks. However, when I was previously testing these steps, there were never more than three students working on the assignment.
I have tried to access the GitHub Classroom and the specific assignment, which is at:
https://classroom.github.com/classrooms/31012255-computer-science-111-fall-2017-at-allegheny-college
and all of those screens always appear correctly. However, when I specifically try to see the assignment submissions for the first laboratory assignment, I always see the aforementioned error.
I have tried these links using both Chrome and Firefox and I always see exactly the same error message. I also see the same error message even when I use different computer. For what is is worth, I have also created a class roster with email addresses but not yet associated the email addresses with the GitHub account for each student; I planned to do that today but could not because I saw the 500 error message.
I should also note that I quickly searched the lists of issues for GitHub Classroom and did not immediately see that this type of issue was already submitted; it if was, please point me in the right direction and I will take steps to try to further solve this matter.
Okay, I hope that this helps you to better understand the context and the error that I am experiencing.
If your schedule permits, can you get back to me with a step that I could take to debug the issue further or to resolve it fully? Since I am not running GitHub Classroom on Heroku, but instead using your installation and server it seems that I may need this issue to be resolved before I can grade these assignments. Of course, please let me know if there is anything that I can do to support the resolution of this issue!
