Add ability for Parents/Gaurdians to view assignments, etc.
Can we get a parents' app to see when their child's teacher creates an assignment next please?

We’re excited to announce that the Weekly guardian email digest is now available!
With this feature enabled, Teams will automatically send parents/guardians a weekly email summary of past and upcoming assignments.
How to get started:
1. Setup Parent and Guardian Sync on Microsoft School Data Sync (SDS) and bulk add all your guardian emails: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/schooldatasync/parent-contact-sync
2. Then O365 Admins can enable the ‘Weekly guardian email digest’ setting inside the new Assignments settings in the Teams Admin Center. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftteams/expand-teams-across-your-org/assignments-in-teams
We can’t wait to hear your feedback.

I hope an update is provided soon. I work for a very larger school system and it is really hard to get teachers to buy in when they don't have a way to connect parents.

Your "csv" method is too convoluted and difficult to complete. When will this feature be live? We really need this for our parents. And soon.

Any way it can be done without using School Data Sync???
School Data Sync isn't available to Vic Department Schools here in Australia. I understand this is a common issue with schools that are among mega large tenants

No new announcements on this feature.
Has this new feature been abandoned?
I do remember the September announcement about a guardian mail digest and the announcement of Parent Contact Sync in SDS. -

It would be really great to have a "Parent" role, as we have Member, owner and Guest. For us, Parent should be more than guest and less than Member.
It would be great if parents would have contribute to the chat, see some shared documents and participate, alse share them, be able to watch streem chanels (like videos about school events etc). As we see parent are also citizens of the school, but with other interests. This feature would be crutial to migrate school communities from facebook and youtube

It is Now available, but Isuggest that you should create a Parent role on the Teams admin.
