Although I am not a huge proponent of students checking their grades all the time, I do like the idea of getting important information to students in multiple ways. On this front, I did find a way to add a classroom or grade level homework calendar to students' Powerschool grade lookup - to clarify, when you add the homework calendar in your gradebook, each student will be able to see the homework calendar above his or her grades page when he or she clicks on your class in Powerschool.
For those who are not using an online calendar, google makes it straight forward to create a calendar and then add homework, quiz, test, and/or project event due dates. You can also set reminders.
The powerful features of google calendar are that students (and parents) can subscribe to your homework calendar, thereby making it available to them directly from their google calendar app. Further, students can set their own reminders, email and/or SMS.
Hope you enjoy.
