You don't have a MWE, so based on my understanding of your illustration, I have the following:
%%% SOF
% required for 'cow'
\setupexternalfigures[location={local,default}]
\setvariables
[assignments]
[set={\setups[assignments:set]}]
\startsetups assignments:set
\writestatus{variables}{assignments:set is being called..}
\startalignment[middle]
\bTABLE[frame=off]
\setupTABLE[c][1][align=flushleft,style=bold,distance=2cm]
\setupTABLE[c][2][align={flushright,lohi}]
\bTR
\bTD \externalfigure[cow][height=2cm] \eTD
\bTD \doiftextelse{\getvariable{assignments}{date}}{\getvariable{assignments}{date}}{\date} \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD Course: \getvariable{assignments}{code} \eTD
\bTD \getvariable{assignments}{assignment} \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD Name \eTD
\bTD \getvariable{assignments}{name} \eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD Class \eTD
\bTD \getvariable{assignments}{class} \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stopalignment
\stopsetups
\starttext
\setvariables
[assignments]
[code={AB1234},
date={January 1, 2038},
assignment={whatever},
name={the name},
class={1970}]
\input tufte
\page
\setvariables
[assignments]
[code={AB1234},
date=,
assignment={whatever},
name={the name},
class={2038}]
\input knuth
\stoptext
%%% EOF
Essentially, variables in ConTeXt has a nice set key which can be made to trigger anything when the variables are set. So you can give it a setup to do whatever you want by just saying
\setvariables[assignments][...]
wherever in the document you desire. See here for an example [there is also a 'reset' key]:

[Since you said 'framed assignment box' you can enable the frames of the cell you want, and change formatting as needed]
