Parents can use Google Classroom to help their students succeed by staying informed, organized, and engaged in their child's learning journey. While there is no parent portal, parents can ask their children to show them their Google Classroom. Here's how it can help:

• Monitor Assignments and Deadlines: Parents can check the "Classwork" tab to see assigned tasks, due dates, and upcoming projects, ensuring students stay on track and avoid missing deadlines.

• View Announcements: Teachers often post updates, reminders, and resources in the "Stream" section. Parents can review this information to keep up with class activities.

• Track Student Progress: By reviewing completed assignments and grades, parents can better understand their child's performance and identify areas that may need extra attention.

• Encourage Organization: Help students manage their workflow by reviewing their assignment list, prioritizing tasks, and creating a plan for completing work on time.

• Support Communication: Parents can encourage students to reach out to teachers through Google Classroom for clarification on assignments, feedback, or additional help.

• Access Learning Materials: Teachers often post resources like videos, links, and study guides. Parents can review these materials with their child to review lessons or begin study sessions.
