Learning Outcome:
At the end of this lesson, you will understand what guardian summaries are and know how to invite guardians to receive them.
You can invite parents and guardians to receive e-mail summaries about activity within Google Classroom. It is important to note that parents and guardians will not be joining your class so they will not be able to log in to Google Classroom. Rather, they will receive a summary (either weekly or daily depending on their preferences) which shows Missing Work, Upcoming Work and Classroom Announcements & Activity. These e-mail summaries are automatically be generated and sent by Google. After inviting parents and managing your settings, there is nothing else to manage on your end as a teacher. If a student is in multiple classes, the classes will be compiled into one e-mail summary.

How to invite Guardians to student accounts

Information for Parents and Guardians on Parent/Guardian Summaries
You will be able to identify if a student has a parent or guardian associated with their account by going to the "People" page. If a student has no parent or guardian listed, there will be a clickable link to "invite guardians".
You can click on this link to type in the guardian's e-mail address and invite them to receive summaries(this does not have to a Gmail address). A student can have several guardians associated to their account (to a max of 20).
PLEASE NOTE: Guardians are linked to the student's account for all their classes and will also be linked in subsequent grades. If you do not want guardians to receive summaries, it is not advisable to remove them as that will remove them for all classes. Rather, our next step will illustrate how to disable guardian summaries for your class.
