While creating an assignment, you can choose to either assign the work to your entire class or select specific students from that class! In the Assign to section of the assignment form, you'll see two options:
Assign work to the entire class
To assign work to the entire class, including future students, you'll select the checkbox next to the name of the class.
Any students who join your class later on in the school year will automatically be added to the assignment as long as the assignment's due date is still open or late submissions are allowed.
Assign work to specific students
To assign work to specific students, you'll select the Choose students drop-down menu next to the class name. You'll then select the checkboxes next to the names of the students whom you'd like to receive the assignment.
Keep in mind that only those specific students will have to the assignment and future students will not automatically receive the work. We recommend using this option for targeted work!
💡 Once you create an assignment, you will be able to add new students that join your class to existing assignments but won’t be able to unselect students that have already been assigned.
