How can I check what work my child has to complete on Google Classroom?
How can I check what work my child has to complete on Google Classroom?
Your child has access to their ‘To do’ list which shows the work which needs to be completed across all their Classrooms and the due dates.
You can also sign up to receive daily or weekly summaries for your child’s classes which detail pupil work due in near future. See the Google Classroom email summaries document for details on how to sign up to receive these emails.
Please note that by signing up to receive summary emails from your child's classes this does not provide you with access to your child's individual classes or to their "To do" list. Only they will have that access.
