Invite Guardians in Google Classroom

In Google Classroom, you can invite guardians to receive email summaries for their students. 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

Note: 

• Guardians who sign up for email summaries can’t see the Stream, Classwork, People, or Grades pages in Classroom.

• Guardians can select how often they want to receive updates from Classroom, daily or weekly. Guardians can unsubscribe from these updates at any time. 

• After a guardian accepts the invitation, you and their student receives a confirmation email. And, the guardian’s name shows next to the student’s name (shown below). For privacy, students don’t see the names of other students’ guardians.

• When a guardian accepts the invitation, the guardian’s email is linked to the student in all of their classes. So, you might see that some students already have a guardian attached to them from other Google Classrooms.
