Integrate Assignments with calendar
It would be very useful for communication with parents to get a link of the dates assignments that they can add in their Phone Calendar (or Outlook calendar,...). Students also love to be able to see that on their phone home screen. No excuses...! ;)
When an assignment is created in a class, it only shows up in the assignment tab within that class. In Classroom when an assignment was created it also showed in the students’ calendars. This would be a great addition especially if students are in multiple classes they’ll be able to see all their assignments in their calendar.

Thank you everyone for the feedback on bringing Assignments to the Teams Calendar! We know how important this is to the experience and are working on how to best deliver this functionality to all the students and educators in our community.

And? This function of seeing homework in the calendar should have been integrated from the first steps of Teams. In addition, teachers should be able to choose the background color so that students have a simple and effective overview. At work!

A feature that is sorely missed, and which is available on other platforms like Schoology.

Dear @Justin Chando,
any news about this specification, please? I would really appreciate it for my students to see all their different groups (classes) online session including the assignments' deadline in their calendar.
Thank you very much

For the motivation, the organization and the success of all the students, this feature is a must! Thank you in advance!

Are you able to provide any further feedback when this is due to be implemented. Even if there was an overview page for students so they can see all items due across all subjects. Would be even better if the teacher could also see a particular student view so they can see what’s outstanding for a student.

Based on other UserVoice solution roadmaps... are we to expect a roll-out in about 2 years time??????

This would be so useful - hugely useful for pupil organization if it could list assignments with their respective deadlines on the pupil calendar

This would be a great feature! If it could involve a notification for pupils a day or 2 before a looming deadline, that would be helpful too!

I would like to have this feature! I want my students to see all of their assignment due dates in their calendar.

It is very hard for students to keep track of their assignments. The interface under Assignments is useless, as is provides no overview (if I want to see assignments per subject, I can go directly to teams, there is no advantage to going through Assignments). In the calendar, I could at least see the assignments as they come up.

Could you please answer - what is your timeline for delivering this feature?
We have homeschooling NOW and not in years (hope so) ... so we need the functionality NOW.
Btw ... appreciate your efforts

May I ask where are you at with this please since the first suggestion was made back in 2017?
During these tiring times, for us parents it would so helpful to have all assignment dates incorporated in the calendar. It has become so hectic and tiring to keep up with all the work of all the children being both young ones and those in their teens.

Awesome idea. Great to hear Justin's team are onto it. This will help out students alot.
The actual teams calendar is rather primitive and lack color etc. So whilst your at if you could spruce that up too it would be great.
For teachers that are in only 6 or less subjects it will also help them.
For someone like me adding assignments to my calendar might make my already unreadable calendar even worse!
