Google Classroom - Adding Guardian Accounts
If you are using Google Classroom quite a bit for your students, it is worth taking the time to add the Guardian accounts as a way to communicate home with students. An important piece worth noting - when you add the Guardians, it ties that email to the student's account NOT your Classroom. This means if two teachers have the same students only one of them has to add the guardian and it is available for both Classrooms. If you have this feature turned on, parents/guardians that have their email tied to the students can opt to receive an email daily or weekly with missing work, upcoming work that is due, and general information about happenings that week. They cannot see student work from it. Important to note - they can be signed up with ANY email (they do not have to have a Gmail account).
