Parents being able to see assignments
- Jul 04, 2019Hi 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.

Thanks 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.

Magnus Sandtorv is this feature active right now in teams, and how to access it? We do sync the parents, but no way how to make them show up in outlook or whatever (student + parent link can be usefull elswhere too)
Best regards

- Jul 05, 2019Hi guys,
Yes, that was the point I was trying to get at. Magnus is 100% right in terms of SDS and the weekly digest. However, the digest itself is an upcoming feature and one that, from the article, is intended as a prelude to much greater parental access. From what I understood Ayaz is that you would ideally want access to an area where the parent can review the assignments are submitted and be able to review it, in addition to this digest?

Thats correct. Only need to see the Assignments really. Don't need to see any conversations, or class notebooks.
