Teams’ School Connection app, which is an app aimed at parents who want to check up on their kids’ activity on Microsoft Teams, will finally be released on Teams Mobile, as well, starting December 2023, according to the latest entry in the Microsoft 365 Roadmap.

Microsoft Teams received some major updates earlier this month, so the School Connection app coming to Teams Mobile shouldn’t be a surprise. For example, besides making Teams 2.0 the new default client for Teams, a new version of Teams for Education was also released along with it, and its design makes it easier for teachers and students to keep up.

Now, the mobile version of School Connection will make sure parents are also joining the conversation easier, faster, and on the go, as Microsoft says.

The School Connection app in Microsoft Teams mobile empowers parents and guardians to engage, support, and monitor their student’s learning at school. As a parent, you can stay up to date on assignments, grades, insights from the past month on digital activity, and more.
