A teacher or school administrator can invite a guardian to receive email summaries about their studentâs work in class. To get summaries, the student must use Classroom with a Google Workspace account (looks like student_name@school.edu). Email summaries do not include grades.
Whatâs included in an email summary?
- Missing workâWork not turned in when the summary was sent.
- Upcoming workâWork thatâs due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or thatâs due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).
- Class activityâAnnouncements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.
- Guardian preview links for Edu Plus SKUs only
What are guardian preview links?
On a Edu Plus SKU, guardians can view their studentâs Classwork page through direct âView in Classroomâ links in the email summary. A teacher can also find the previewing link in their class settings and share this with a guardian.
Within the Classwork page, guardians can find assignment:
- Titles
- Details
- Attachments (In some instances, an attachment cannot be previewed)
- Due dates
How do guardians get summaries?
- A teacher or admin sends an invitation to a guardian.
- After a guardian accepts the invitation, they choose when to get email summaries for each of their students.
By default, email summaries for classes are turned off. If youâre a teacher, learn how to turn email summaries on.
Tip: All guardians are added to BCC when an email is sent to all guardians.
When do guardians get summaries?
Guardians can get emails daily or weekly and can unsubscribe at any time.
Guardians wonât get an email summary if:
- There's no activity to report for the given time period.
- All their studentâs teachers turned off notifications for their classes.
- They accepted the invitation but chose not to get any summaries.
- They aren't connected to any student in Classroom.
