2. Click on the Members tab.

3. If a student does not have a connected parent, click the Connect Parent button in their row. (Note: If the student already has a connected parent, click on the more button to the right and select Add Another Parent.)

4. From the dropdown menu, select Email or Mobile and type in the appropriate information. (Note: Mobile invitations are only available in the US and Canada.)

5. Click the Invite button and an invitation will be sent to the parent.

6. Click the Finish button.

Your student's parent will now start receiving updates on their child's progress.

You can also invite all your students' parents at once, when you first create a Class and add your students. If you don't want to connect parents at this point, you still have the option to connect them individually later.

To connect all your students' parents:

1. Once you create a new Class and add Students to the Class, select the Connect Parent button. If you don't want to connect parents at this point, you can click on the Maybe Later button. You can always connect parents again in the Members tab.

2. From the dropdown menu, select Email or Mobile and type in the appropriate information for each parent. (Note: Mobile invitations are only available in the US and Canada )

3. Click the Invite button and invitations will be sent to parents.

Frequently asked questions

Q: How is Microsoft helping educators quickly get set up for remote learning with Microsoft Teams and Office 365?

Microsoft is committed to providing guidance and resources for educators, administrators, and caregivers whose children who are shifting to online learning. Check out the latest resources and guidance, including professional development resources, IT support, and tools to promote student health and engagement.

Q: What are the resources available for parents and caregivers as schools move to remote learning?

Continuing to drive student engagement and focused learning can be a challenge, especially for those moving to remote learning for the first time. Educators and caregivers need support to help make this work. To help parents and guardians support their children, we have created a Remote Learning Guide for students and parents. We're continuing to build additional resources, which will be available in the coming days.

Q: If my school is new to Microsoft for Education, what do you recommend?

We encourage schools to use the completely free Office 365 A1 offer which provides a customized hub for class teamwork with Microsoft Teams that includes video meetings, online versions of the Office 365 apps, as well as compliance tools and information protection.

Q: Which tools are most useful for remote learning?

There are a number of cloud-based applications in Office365 Education that are great for remote learners.

One of the most valuable collaboration tools we offer for classrooms is . In Microsoft Teams, teachers can connect with one another in online PLCs (professional learning communities) and they can connect with students-distributing and grading assignments, chatting with students to offer support as needed, and conducting video calls to ensure students still have valuable face time with their peers and instructors while out of the classroom.

is also a great tool for remote learning, offering students the ability to record work in an online notebook, even when they are offline.

And in , students can have conversations about curriculum and share their voice via short videos online.

Windows 10 devices enable a virtual classroom for all students - wherever they are.

Q: Can parents use their own Office accounts for online learning if the school isn't using O365 Education?

Schools and students are all eligible for free Office365 with an EDU email address and can sign up here. If a school is already licensed for Office365, the school officials should send parents the correct log in information for their child to access the necessary tools for online learning. The Microsoft EDU team has also created a guide for parents on the Remote Learning page on Microsoft.com.
