Microsoft is reporting an outage of its Outlook/Exchange mailboxes and Microsoft Teams across North America. 

This means that NLPS staff are not receiving any emails at this time. If you have emailed your child’s school today November 12, 2026 they may not have received your email.

Please phone your child’s school if you need to reach the school.

There is no ETA at the moment from Microsoft as to when these services will return. 

We will provide an update when we have more information.
