Set up guardian email summaries
If your school administrator has turned on guardian email summaries, you can choose which classes to include in those summaries. When you include a class, guardians can receive automatic regular emails about their students in that class.
Before you can invite, remove, or email guardians:
- You must use Classroom on a web browser or the Android app.
- Your administrator must verify that you're a teacher.
- Your administrator must give you permission to manage guardian email summaries.
Turn on guardian email summaries for your class

Sign in with your School Email Account.

Invite a guardian
Your school administrator chooses who—verified teachers or administrators—has permission to invite and remove guardians. Only one person needs to invite the guardian. When a guardian accepts the invitation, the guardian’s email is linked to the student in all of their classes. All verified teachers and administrators can see the student’s guardian.
If you can’t invite or remove a guardian, contact your administrator for help.
- Click the class.
- At the top, click People.
- Next to a student’s name, click Invite guardians.
- Enter a guardian’s email address.
To invite multiple guardians, insert a comma between the email addresses.
- Click Invite.
If the guardian hasn’t accepted an invitation, you’ll see “(invited)” next to the guardian's email address. After a guardian accepts the invitation, you and their student receives a confirmation email. And, the guardian’s name shows next to the student’s name. For privacy, students don’t see the names of other students’ guardians.
Remove a guardian
Warning: This action removes the guardian from all of the student’s classes at your school, not just the classes you teach.
