The last school bell has rung. Students are wrapping up, teachers are closing their final assignments, and Microsoft 365 administrators inherit one more end-of-year job: putting last year's class Teams away properly.

I feed Somtoday data into School Data Sync with a tool I built, and SDS turns that data into the classes and Teams used during the year. In my end-of-year process, every class Team provisioned through SDS is archived. But archiving is only half the job: the current SDS cleanup does not remove students, and removing those memberships one by one quickly becomes a mountain of Graph requests. Tony Redmond's batching article arrived at exactly the right moment.

Microsoft 365 Copilot becomes much more interesting when it stops only suggesting what to do and starts carrying out connected edits in the apps where the work already lives. That is what stood out to me in this webinar: update the plan in Word, carry the changes into Excel and PowerPoint, and then communicate them in Outlook. I have selected four shorter demos so you can jump straight to the app you use instead of watching the entire webinar.

Microsoft has a lot coming for education this summer. In this update, Mike Tholfsen walks through new AI tools for students and teachers, plus what is coming next in Teams, OneNote, Windows, and learning-management systems. Definitely worth exploring after summer break.
