notify me (the teacher) when a student turns in an assignment
As a teacher of 7 different classes, I have to go into each assignment individually to see when students turn in assignments. This is very time-consuming! Please allow me to set up a notification when a student turns in an assignment.

Thanks for all of the feedback on this one. We are reviewing how we can improve notifications around Assignments in Teams. Please keep the feedback coming!

Hopefully will have the option so that the notification only shows up when the assignment is turned in late.

Perhaps that feature could be combined with a dashboard that shows all the relevant content.

This is part of a bigger question around creating dashboards for teachers / students / parents & to have all teams owned by various constituents in some kind of hierarchy / grouping instead of current flat structure. The bigger teams gets in a school the more unmanageable it is from an overview/ sectional / edtech or curriculum coordinator point of view.

Any chance of this feature becoming a reality?

... and let me customise to:
'Notify me when x% of the class are in' and 'notify me after 'to mark' date' (set when task assigned)

Yes I agree this is one of the biggest needed features needed especially to keep Microsoft competitive with Google Classroom.

I love all the updates that Teams is adding regularly. But this suggestion has been here for 2 years! Everyday (multiple times a day) I have to go into each of my 4 classes (technically, I have 8 classes but only 4 are currently using Teams) and see if anyone has turned in any current assignments or any late assignments. Currently, that is 6 assignments per class. That means each day, multiple times a day I am checking 24 assignments. Some classes do have everything turned in, but I check anyway in case someone has done something over or if anything needs my attention. This is a lot of wasted time. It seems like there should be a way to have some type of visual notification that lets teachers know at a glance there are new assignments to grade.
Microsoft! Please take note of this request!

All teacher at our school want this! Having a team for each class and then multiple assignments in each team, this is crucial. Why not using the notification tab already in teams (the one used for messages, and mentions)

I agree. When a student turns in a missing assignment if they don't TELL me its a while before I will go back to see. Id like some type of prompt when I go to assignments to tell me late work has been turned in.

I'd like an email notification when a student turns in an assignment after the due date.

Do it just like they do in the Classroom notebook. Bold the turned in number when a new assignment gets handed in that you haven't marked. It should stay bold until it has been returned.

I agree! It is very cumbersome to do it the current way. Notifications and an email would both be much more helpful ways of alerting teachers when assignments have been turned in by students in Teams.

I love this idea...but would only want the notifications in Teams...I would not want it also in email. I have 8 classes and if the notification came in email it would become a nightmare! But it would be awesome at the end of a marking period when I only have a handful of students that still have work to turn in to be notified when they actually submit it. That would save me so much time!
