Peabody with Microsoft
Peabody has no direct Microsoft connection. Export your class list as a spreadsheet and import first names and grades.
Where it stands
Use the spreadsheet import.
Peabody has no direct connection to Microsoft school accounts. You can still bring a class over: export the class list from it as a spreadsheet, then import just first names and grades into Peabody. If your school also uses Clever or ClassLink, you can use that instead.
What to do now
- Export your class list from your school's system as a spreadsheet.
- Import the first names and grades into your class on Peabody.
- Check the draft, then make the children.
What Peabody takes
Peabody takes each child's first name and grade, reads them once, keeps them for 30 minutes as a draft for the teacher to check, and then makes the children as a first name plus four numbers. It never takes a last name, an email, a student number or the service's own id (the Clever tile, once switched on, is the one addition: see the Clever page). Read-only access only: Peabody cannot change anything at a school.
Questions
Can children sign in to Peabody with a school Microsoft account?

Then see the Clever and ClassLink pages here for where those stand.
