GoGuardian Teacher Updates

Option to Import Google Classroom for Multiple Classes in one Period

For some class schedules where there are multiple classes in one period, we have found it is easier to lump all students in one Google Classroom. This allows the teacher to monitor all classes at once instead of having to click on each individual class. Let us know if you need help.

Disable Session Report Emails

Each time a GoGuardian session ends, a session summary is reported to your Gmail. You can disable this feature by -

CLICKING ON CLASS>SETTINGS>REPORTING>DISABLE SESSION REPORTS EMAIL
