For Parents/Guardians

Get Classroom email summaries (for guardians)

As a guardian, you can get email summaries about your student’s activity in Classroom. Email summaries do not include grades. For grades, ask your student or contact the teacher.

In email summaries, you can review:

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

• Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).

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

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

Get email summaries

To get email summaries of your student’s work, your student's teacher must first invite you through their Google Classroom. If you have not received an email, reach out to your student's teacher stating you would like to receive email summaries.

After you have been invited, you must accept an email invitation from a teacher or administrator. You have 120 days to accept an invitation before it expires. You can unsubscribe from summaries or remove yourself as a guardian at any time.

1. The teacher or administrator emails you an invitation to join your student’s class.

2. In your email program, open your email invitation.

3. Click Accept.

   • If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian.

Email Notifications

Daily summaries are sent each afternoon, and weekly summaries are sent on Friday afternoons.

Once you sign up for guardian notifications, you will receive notifications from all of the classes your student is enrolled in with Google Classroom for Palos Heights School District 128.
