We're excited to introduce a new, simpler way to navigate your teams. See all your teams in one centralized place, including class, PLC, Staff, and other teams. Select any team to focus on your conversations and files without extra visual distraction. Don't worry--all your files, conversations, and assignments are still right where you left them. You can switch back to the old view at any time, and we show you how below.
