A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIS DEPARTMENT
Google Classroom
Most of our DFMS classrooms use Google Classroom to communicate and disseminate information to students. As a guardian, you can receive email summaries showing your student’s progress in the classroom.
You can choose the frequency of the emails, such as daily or weekly.
You can unsubscribe or remove yourself from the classroom at any time.
Guardian email summaries include:
Missing work—Work that’s late at the time the email was sent
Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)
Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers
As a guardian, you must receive and accept an email invitation before you can receive email summaries. Only teachers and administrators from your student’s school can send these invitations.
If you are not yet receiving Google Classroom updates via email, please follow the instructions below to get connected.
Email Kelly Thacker (kthacker@lexrich5.org) and state your child’s name, grade level, and list any email addresses on which you would like to receive summaries.
One of your child’s teachers or Mrs. Thacker will email you an invitation for your child.
We can send it to any email address you would like.
In your email program, open your email invitation.
Click Accept.
If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian.
When you accept an invitation, you will receive an email confirmation.
