Parents and Google Classroom

This is exciting, folks!  Parents finally have some view of Google Classroom.  Here is what it's all about (https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6388136):

Keep track of your student’s classroom progress through guardian email summaries. You can choose the frequency of the emails—daily or weekly—and you can unsubscribe or remove yourself from Classroom at any time.

Guardian email summaries include:

• Missing work—Work that’s late at the time the email was sent
• Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)
• Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers

As a guardian, before you can receive email summaries, you must receive and accept an invitation from your student’s teacher or school. 

Here is an example of what a summary looks like.

By default, this feature is turned off in your Google Classrooms.  To turn it on, go to the Students page.  On the far left, you will see:

Toggle "Include this class" to the on position.  You can do this for all of your classes or not.  Parents can then unsubscribe if they so choose.
