Google Classroom Guardian Summaries solve all of those concerns since they're automatic. Learn how to use this incredible Google Classroom feature.

Proposal summary

Purpose & objective

By the end of the session, attendees will be able to:
- Have a better understanding of Guardian Summaries
- Utilize the letter format provided to customize for their own parents
- Understand the email that Guradians receive once signed up

This idea was implemented by me in the intermediate and elementary buildings I support, and has been successful. Teachers have been able to invite a wide amount of parents into their Classrooms, making it so they receive those summaries in a timely manner, since most of their classes heavily utilize Google Classroom.
