GOOGLE CLASSROOM GUARDIAN EMAIL SUMMARIES

Starting September 7th, guardians will be able to receive email summaries about their student’s activity in Google Classroom. Guardians will receive an email invitation on September 7th and will need to accept the invitation in order to receive Google Classroom email summaries. When you receive the invite email and click the accept button, you will be taken to a page verifying your email address. Please make sure this is the email address you would like to use before clicking accept. If it is not the correct email address, do NOT click decline or accept, and see bullet number 3 under "Get email summaries" in this document Guardian Email Summaries - for Guardians.


You may not receive an invite email if you are still signed up from last year or if teacher(s) have not enabled email notifications in their Google Classrooms.


In email summaries, you can review:


- Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent

- Upcoming work—Work that is due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that is due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)

- Class activities—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers

- Email summaries do not include grades.


If there’s no activity to report, or if a teacher turns off email notifications, you might not get an email summary.


Please see this document for more information Guardian Email Summaries - for Guardians.
