As you may be aware, Google Classroom is currently being used by some departments within the school. This allows teachers to share announcements and resources, ask questions and issue work electronically. We have recently successfully launched a feature of Google Classroom, known as Guardian Email Summaries. This has allowed us to send parents who have signed-up a weekly text-based email highlighting progress in Google Classroom. This does not give guardians direct access to the Classroom(s) their child is part of, or the facility to reply directly to teachers. Normal channels of communication should continue to be used. 

If you sign up, you will receive one email every Friday (if you choose to accept our invitation) with a summary of the announcements, questions and homework that your child has received from their teachers. Missing work that has not been completed will be highlighted. Homework will be issued electronically via Google Classroom and although some of this may be completed online, other pieces of work will continue to be jotter or paper-based. Coupled with the new Homework diaries, we hope these regular email updates will give you more of an insight into what your child is currently learning and give you the opportunity to have conversations about both class work and homework.
