Parents being able to see assignments
Hi all, we would like parents to be able to see what assignments have been set for their child in Teams. Is there any way of doing this? Currently we use the 6 CSV sync method to import users and classes into O365.
Thanks.
- Hi Ayaz,
SDS supports parent contact sync, so you’ll need to add those data to your CSVs.

When school starts after the summer there will be a weekly digest mail from Teams EDU, covering last weeks assignments as well as those due in the coming week.

\MagnusThanks for this.
Sounds promising. I presume it is a simple email with which assignment has been set without any great detail? In other words, would the parent be able to see what the assignment is, and whether their child has completed the assignment?
Thanks.
EDIT: Image didn't show.
You're most welcome.It's going to be relatively basic initially, but as you see in the following blog post you should see some information about the assignment, including whether or not it's completed by your child.

- Hi Ayaz Younis,
Not currently - however there is a Uservoice open for a Parent View where they can see their child’s assignments here

Would recommending voting to push it up the agenda. Also, there is one for the class notebook too

I voted on both of these myself. As a massive evangelist of Teams I would love to be able to see my child’s assignments and notebooks in Teams - and also be notified if it’s close to the due date and they haven’t turned it in!
Hope that answers your question!
Best, Chris
