Classroom

Other Tutorials in the #FirstDayofClassroom Google Community

On the hub, you’ll find short tutorials explaining how to get started with Classroom, teacher-created videos on best practices, as well as teacher-tested tips. Want a hard copy? Printable resources, including a Getting Started guide and Group Study guide, are available on the hub for teachers to use right at their desks. It’s like being in your school’s teachers’ lounge or at a collaborative professional development event—except it’s all online.

Parent/Guardian Email Summaries

If a teacher invites a parent/guardian to do so, parents/guardians can join Classroom to receive regular, automatic email summaries for each of their children. They can choose the frequency of the emails, daily or weekly, and can unsubscribe at any time.

When guardians join Classroom, they receive regular, automatic email summaries for each of their students. Guardians choose the frequency of the emails—daily or weekly—and can unsubscribe at any time. 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

This how-to handout can be posted for parents if they need help in signing up once they are invited.
