Google Classroom has a new feature called Google Guardian. Parents can be invited as a guardian and receive notification of the assignments and due dates. If you would like to be invited as a guardian, please let me know via email. This is another short grading period. It will be helpful if you monitor your child's parent portal on a regular basis to help them keep up.
