Google Guardians

The North School uses Google Classroom for Independent learning. The information below will help and guide you to seeing your child's current class activity, upcoming work and missing work from Google Classroom.

Email Summaries

As a guardian, you can receive email summaries showing your child's progress in Google Classroom. We will use the email we have in our records. At each school roll over, or when your student is added to new classes, you will receive an invitation for email summaries.

Note: You can only receive daily summaries if you have a personal Google account.

Personal Google Account—This is set up by you. It looks like you@example.com.

• You can choose the frequency of the emails, such as daily or weekly.

• Note: Daily means Monday to Friday. You will not receive email summaries on Saturdays or Sundays.

• You can unsubscribe or remove yourself from Classroom at any time.

Guardian email summaries include:

• Missing work—Work that is late at the time the email was sent

• Upcoming work—Work that is due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that is due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)

• Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers
