Great features and updates, thank you!!

One consideration would be for teachers that use a 'total points' grade book. They will still want categories but don't weigh them. I suppose they could simply have all of their categories weigh the same as a work around, but for syncing in to SIS's then I could potentially see issues/incompatibilities.

Each month Teams becomes more and more like a true LMS--loving it! Ready to grade and inactive are great features that the teachers I work with are going to love!

I love the emotional wellness features, very cool!

If parents want to see grades, what's the way to do that?

Thanks for the update. Assign to individuals and group of students to Channels other than the General Channel??? Create assignments from existing by a list instead of having to remember what Team it was assigned to??

I miss a Quizlet function, it would be great in my digital classroom.

Question: Is Search Coach fully released as a GA for all EDU tenants by now?

[Sstrplayer]

For example I give a assignment turn it in then unturned it then delete the Dokument and put a new one better one can they see the old one before one?

Where can I find the App 'Assigments'. Is this App not available for a m365 premium license?
