Using Gmail to Send Excel Grades Home to Students and Their Parents

[rmnewjers]

Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Markus, and today is my birthday. Therefore, I am hoping Mr. Excel can provide me with a very special birthday gift. I am a teacher who is trying to send Excel student grades via Gmail to students and their parents. I don't want to involve a another component such as Google Sheets, an MS Excel Add-on or anything of the such.

Sincerely,
Markus
