Amber,
I would continue to inform and share this information with students just as you are doing. What I would then to is a mini-review of this information as it pertains to that class, the current grading period or any other time frame that students are working within that has a deadline. Yes, they do miss some of the information when given in volume but by reviewing and repeating the short term requirements the students will have their memories refreshed and will focus on the upcoming due dates.
