Guardian Summaries are automatic email updates sent directly from Google Classroom. These summaries can help families monitor missing assignments, see upcoming work and due dates, and stay informed about classroom announcements and activities
What Guardian Summaries ARE:
A weekly or daily email summary from Google Classroom
A simple way to stay informed about student work
What Guardian Summaries are NOT:
Parents do not join the Google Classroom
Parents cannot submit work, view grades, or participate in the class stream
Students still access and complete work through their own school account
How to Sign Up:
Parents/guardians cannot self-enroll in Guardian Summaries. A teacher must send an invitation directly through Google Classroom.
To request access:
Contact your child’s teacher
Watch for an invitation email from Google Classroom
Click “Accept” in the invitation email to begin receiving summaries
Once you accept an invitation for one class, you may automatically receive summaries for additional classes connected to your student. Guardian Summary emails can typically be sent daily (Monday–Friday) or weekly. Not all teachers or grade levels use Google Classroom or have Guardian Summaries enabled, so availability may vary by classroom. We encourage families to take advantage of this tool as another way to support student success and stay connected with classroom learning.
Thank you for your partnership and continued support!
