Tired of wondering what's been assigned in Google Classroom, when it's due, and whether it's been submitted? Class Retriever clearly shows what has been assigned in Google Classrooms so parents never have to ask again "Do you have homework? When is it due?" - Assignments appear as "submitted" or "unsubmitted." - Assignments can be sorted by course or due date. - Assignments that are unsubmitted and past due are highlighted red. - Refresh the screen to see up-to-date reporting on demand. While initially designed for parents, this is also a great tool for students who want to see what's been assigned and when it's due to prioritize their workloads at a glance. PLEASE NOTE: 1. Schools usually have to approve Class Retriever's connection to Google Classroom for the connection to work. Early adopters of Class Retriever should be prepared to ask their schools to allow Class Retriever to work with the school's Google Classroom instance. Class Retriever provides guidelines on how to make this request during on-boarding. There is no cost to schools to enable Class Retriever or allow its use. 2. Class Retriever requires the student's permission to connect Class Retriever to their Classroom account. 3. Class Retriever is FERPA and COPPA compliant. 4. Class Retriever is for users and students who are 13 years or older. Class Retriever was created by a mom to help her family and the families she knew.
