Joining Google Classroom
Google Classroom is a Learning Management System that many teachers use to organize announcements and student assignments. Guardians cannot see the Stream, Classwork, People, or Grades pages in Classroom. Instead, they can receive guardian email summaries to see information about missing work, upcoming work, and class activities.
To be added as a Guardian in Google Classroom, you must provide an email to ONE teacher. You will receive an email invite and must hit “Accept” to be added as a Guardian. Once you have access, you will receive email summaries for each class in which your student is enrolled.
You cannot view grades in this platform:
