As soon as you log into Schoology and see your courses you also see to the right an area called Upcoming. Upcoming shows students and parents all the upcoming calendar events, including assignments. 

Any assignments shown the Upcoming Area of the page will be the ones with the soonest due date. Click on the title of any assignment to see the details.  

The Upcoming area is also visible within in any student course. The events shown will be specific to that course. 

Students and Parents can also access any assignments and upcoming events by clicking on the calendar  icon at the top of the page.
