SchoolStatus Connect (previously ClassTag) launched a feature that allows parents to easily view the announcements and classwork that the teacher posted on their child’s Google classroom directly on SchoolStatus Connect. Teachers that synced their Google Classroom with SchoolStatus Connect can now allow their students’ parents to see their Google Classroom Stream and Classwork through the students’ backpacks on SchoolStatus Connect. Parents can visit the Google Classroom Parent Portal to view this information.
Here's the comparison between SchoolStatus Connect's Google Classroom Parent Portal and Google Classroom and what is being shared in each section.
