Guardian Emails You Can Do

With the beginning of the year, a topic that is super close to my heart is communication. I can't stress to teachers enough how important it is to have clear and consistent communication. I adopted this philosophy early in my career and it definitely paid off. And being a mom to three girls in school, this is also an important topic on the home front as a parent. I love my girls, but let's be honest, they don't always come home and detail out their day like I would like. Anyway I can gain more insight to their day is very welcome!


Are you a Google Classroom user?

Perfect! You have to try out the Guardian email feature. Beyond the initial setup, there is nothing for teachers to do. And the guardians will receive an email daily or weekly, based on their preferences.

Done.

Yes, it's that easy.

Looking for a little more help? Looking to convince others to try it out? I've got you.






I've also started collecting Google Classroom ideas/tips/tricks in a Wakelet collection. I've included a link to the official Classroom help site about Guardian summaries in it, too.

  1. Do parents see announcements, assignments, questions and materials? In other words, ALL features?

    1. They CAN see these. But it is just a read only version. Example, teacher posts an assignment, guardian can only see the text of what is posted (cannot click and open any attachments nor can they respond to a question posted).
