The easiest way for students to start an assignment is by using the Assignments Widget. 

Note: The Assignment Widget does not show the DUE date for each assignment. 



New:ALL assignments that have not been opened by the student. (both current and due/past due)
Due:Once a student opens an assignment before or on the due date, the assignment will move to the DUE status. It will remain in this status until the DUE date.

*NOTE: a lesson will not move into the DUE status unless it's been opened.
Late:An assignment will move to the LATE status if the student has started the lesson, but has not submitted the lesson by the DUE date. 


The BEST way for a student to view their assignments AND its due dates:

The student should go to LESSONS and ASSIGNMENT SEARCH. Use the Class dropdown to filter by class.


RED Status/ BoldedThe assignment is DUE or PAST DUE and has not been opened/started by the student
RED Status/ UnboldedThe assignment is DUE or PAST DUE and has been opened/started by the student but has not been submitted to the teacher. 
Grey Status/Bolded:The assignment is within the Start and DUE date and has not been opened.
Grey Status/Unbolded:The assignment is within the Start and DUE date and HAS been opened/started by the student but has not been submitted to the teacher.
