Most students check Classroom one class at a time, which is exactly how an assignment in your fifth class goes missing. Classroom already has one page that lists every assignment from every class. It is called To-do.

Where the To-do page is

  1. On a computer

    Go to classroom.google.com and click To-do in the menu on the left, or View to-dos on the homepage.

  2. In the Classroom app

    Tap the menu at the top and choose To-do.

  3. For just one class

    Open the class, go to Classwork, and choose View your work. You can filter by Assigned, Returned with grade or Missing.

What Assigned, Missing and Done mean

The three tabs on the Google Classroom To-do page

AssignedWork with a due date that has not passed, or with no due dateThis is your real to-do list. Start with what is due first.

DoneWork your teacher graded or returnedCheck grades and private comments.

Apollo is coming to iMessage

It reads Google Classroom and texts you before things are due. Join the waitlist to hear first.

Do not rely on the “Due soon” box

The Classroom homepage has a Due soon section that shows up to five upcoming assignments across your classes. It is fine for a quick look, but five is not your whole week. Use To-do for the real list.

A five-minute weekly check

  1. Sunday: open Assigned

    Look at everything due this week and next. Anything that takes more than an hour gets a start day.

  2. Friday: open Missing

    Turn in what you can, even late. Half an assignment usually beats a zero.

  3. Once a month: open Done

    Skim grades and comments for anything you should do differently on the next one.

Put the due dates on a calendar

Each class also has its own Google Calendar, and every assignment with a due date shows up there automatically. Open Google Calendar with your school account and they sit next to everything else in your week. To get alerts days ahead, see how to get Google Classroom reminders.

Or skip the checking

A list only works if you remember to look at it. Apollo, the AI from Write It, is coming to iMessage so you do not have to. Connect Google Classroom and it reads what is due and texts you first. Say yes and it gets the work done, with realistic typing and our humanizer built in.

Let Apollo keep track for you

It is not open yet. Join the waitlist and you will be first in.

It may be in a class you have not joined yet, or your teacher may have scheduled it to post later. Check the class’s Classwork page, and ask your teacher if it is still not there.
Can I see Google Classroom assignments on a calendar?
