About Google Guardian Email Summaries
Prior to August 2026, M-DCPS will invite guardians to receive email summaries about their student’s work in class. To get summaries, the student must use Classroom with an M-DCPS Google Workspace account (looks like studentID@students.dadeschools.net). Email summaries do not include grades.
What’s included in an email summary?
- Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent.
- Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).
- Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.
- Guardian preview links for Edu Plus SKUs only
What are guardian preview links?
M-DCPS guardians can view their student’s Classwork page through direct “View in Classroom” links in the email summary. A teacher can also find the previewing link in their class settings and share this with a guardian.
Within the Classwork page, guardians can find assignment:
- Titles
- Details
- Attachments (In some instances, an attachment cannot be previewed)
- Due dates
How do guardians get summaries?
- A guardian must ensure that their email is updated in the district student information system.
This can be accomplished by speaking with the school registrar to obtain your parent PIN and associating your parent portal account with your student. - The district will then programmatically send an invitation to all guardians.
- After a guardian accepts the invitation, they choose when to get email summaries for each of their students.
When do guardians get summaries?
Guardians can get emails daily or weekly and can unsubscribe at any time.
Guardians won’t get an email summary if:
- There’s no activity to report for the given time period.
- All their student’s teachers turned off notifications for their classes.
- They accepted the invitation but chose not to get any summaries.
- They aren’t connected to any student in Classroom.
