Google Guardian Summaries
💻 BE IN THE KNOW 💻
PLEASE NOTE: GUARDIAN SUMMARIES DO NOT GIVE ACCESS TO YOUR Student'S GOOGLE CLASSROOM OR GOOGLE ACCOUNT- It's a snapshot of what your student is doing in Google classroom. The summaries do not offer access to class materials, links or work.
As a guardian, you can receive email summaries showing your student’s progress in classroom.
- You can choose the frequency of the emails, such as daily or weekly.
- You can unsubscribe or remove yourself from 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
If you wanted to actually see what your student sees & does in Google Classroom, you would need to log into your student's account with them.
Start receiving email summaries
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.
You have 120 days to accept an invitation before it expires.
- The teacher or administrator emails you an invitation for a particular student.
They can send it to any email address. - In your email program, open your email invitation.
- Click Accept.
If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian. - (Optional) To access the email summary settings page, create a Google Account.
When you accept an invitation, you, your student, and the person who invited you (the teacher or administrator) receives an email confirmation.
When you won't receive an email summary
You won’t receive an email summary if:
- There's no activity to report for the given time period.
- All your student’s teachers turned off notifications for their classes.
- You selected No summaries for how often you’d like to receive emails.
- You aren't connected to any students in Classroom.

- Next to the student’s name, click Delete Remove.
If you don't have a Google Account:
