Microsoft Teams: School Connection – Providing access to parents via their phone number

The School Connection app in Microsoft Teams (mobile) empowers parents and guardians to engage, support, and monitor their student’s learning at school. This release enables a parent/guardian to get access to their child’s profile in School Connection if they login to Teams (mobile) with their phone number and the school has registered that phone number as a parent/guardian contact. Additionally, a parent/guardian will easily get access to their child’s profile if the phone number or email address that is registered by the school is saved as a contact information in their Microsoft account.
