Microsoft Teams: Invite Parents via SMS for Communication

Originally posted by Microsoft Nov 30, 2022 Microsoft Teams 0 Comments

Parent Connection allows teachers to communicate with the guardians of a student. To enable parent-teacher communication, admins can now choose either email or SMS as their preferred Parent Connection invitation channel. Sending messages in an SMS-heavy market makes it easier to connect with Parents while keeping teachers’ experience simple. These messages sent to parents and guardians will be in plain text, without HTML, formatting, or styles applied.
