The ability to hide posts on our calendars that our teachers make

Sometimes, especially when taking a large amount of classes, the teacher post assignments and meeting on the calendar that don't apply to you in particular. This turns the calendar into a wall of colored text that holds a lot of very useful assignment notifications and totally pointless or completed assignments. In order to clear things up and declutter, it would be nice to be able to hide posts on the calendar made by the professor.

Thanks for sharing this idea. We've moved it forward for discussion after changing the idea title from "delete" to "hide"; creating and deleting course events is a permission reserved to the instructor of the course.

In the interim, students can show and hide specific course calendars by clicking on their entry at the right side of the calendar screen; this might assist in managing multiple courses on the calendar.

I understand! The ability to hide particular course events from the calendar would be a nice feature to have available to us, in order to make the calendar less "wall of text" of assignments that are completed or irrelevant to the particular student.

Rated 5 stars! In today's world of remote instruction, many conferencing (e.g. Zoom) meetings are shown to students on the Calendar, not all of which are required for a course or apply to every student.

instead of just marking items off the callender, provide an option to hide them
