set a publish date for assignments
Add a publish date to assignments - when set, an assignment is hidden until the publish date, then appears to students. This way, a teacher could enter assignments in advance, timed to appear when appropriate for students.

I agree with this option! Adding a publish date would be great for substitute days! All of the assignments would be automatically pushed for classes.

Setting a publish date for assignments is a necessary feature for teachers. As of now, teachers only have the option to create an assignment which is immediately published. This leads to one of two problems: 1. students are seeing assignments too far in advance and it is leading to confusion or 2. a teacher has to wait until the day of the assignment to post it and may be rushed. Teachers should be able to post assignments on their own time.

Yes! This is what I miss from Edmodo! It makes life so much easier to set up future assignments.

This seems like it should be a standard feature.
