Dear Microsoft Education Team, I asked to join the educators group almost 2 months ago, but I didn’t receive any answer. My name is Sonia Iannaccone, and I am a Computer Science teacher at ITE TOSI high school, located in Busto Arsizio (VA) Italia. I am writing to formally request the activation of a Microsoft Educator profile, in order to access and use the tools and resources provided by the Microsoft platform to support my teaching activities. I remain available to provide any additional documentation or information required to confirm my role as a teacher at the above-mentioned institution. Thank you for your time and consideration. Yours sincerely, Sonia Iannaccone ---

Dear Admin Team @jacqueline.russell, @ianhu , @vritant.bhardwaj, and @abchatra , I wanted to reach out to draw your attention to this thread and see if you could please assist us with this? Visual Studio Code for Education has been an excellent platform for my students and for teaching Python. However, I have been unable to access the educator resources. I requested educator approval over two months ago and am still on the waitlist, which has limited my ability to use the VS Code for Education courses effectively with my students. I understand that the approval process is manual and time‑consuming, and I truly appreciate the work involved. I’m writing to ask if you could assist with approving my request, as well as those of other educators currently waiting for access. I’m excited about the high‑quality resources available in VS Code for Education and would be very grateful for any support in helping me use them to better serve my middle school computer programming students. Thank you for your time and assistance. Sincerely, Katie Brandao ---

Apologies everyone for the delayed response. Our team is currently understaffed, so it’s been a challenge to keep up. But I went through and cleared the request queue. Please let me know if you did not get access. And yes, @ ping me directly to get my immediate attention. Really appreciate your patience with us! ---
