Data Migration for Middle School Students
Due to the upcoming migration of data from our current PLCScotch M365 account into our new Scotch M365 account, there are some important steps that must be taken prior to the migration to ensure you don't lose any of your work.
THE MIGRATION WILL BEGIN ON FRIDAY 3:30PM, SEPTEMBER 22nd AND END ON THURSDAY 7AM, SEPTEMBER 28TH.
