Guardian Summaries offers you a way to invite guardians to see activity within Google Classroom. After you invite a guardian, he or she will be able to determine whether to receive summaries daily, weekly, or not to receive them at all. These summaries include a snapshot of missing assignments, upcoming assignments, announcements, and questions posted on the Classroom Stream. A sample summary can be accessed here.

Now more than ever, parents may have questions about Google Classroom and the summaries they can receive. We have written up a handy parent letter explaining all of the changes and updates. Feel free to make a copy of this letter, make any changes needed, and send this home to communicate this great new opportunity with your students' guardians.

To turn Guardian Summaries on or off:

1. Navigate to classroom.google.com

2. Select a Class from the Dashboard

3. Select the gear in the upper right hand corner

4. Toggle the Guardian Summaries Switch on or off
