Gmail glitch throws public schools in one Aussie state into chaos as students eagerly await their grades
Thousands of students in Queensland have been impacted by a Gmail glitch that blocked parents from receiving their Term Two reports.
The report cards were were incorrectly marked as spam by Google 's mailing inbox.
A spokesperson for the Department of Education said the issue was restricted to only those with Google Mail - or Gmail - accounts.
'The department is working with Google to have the issue resolved as a matter of priority,' the spokesperson said.
'The issue only appears to affect parents and caregivers with Gmail accounts. Google has blocked the email messages as if they are spam.
'Parents and caregivers using the QParents app can access report cards as normal.
'There are no other impacts to functionality or access to OneSchool.'
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Google for comment.
Some schools flagged the issue with parents on social media, including Bundaberg North State School and Talara Primary College P&C Association.
Parents were quick to call for calm with one thanking the Talara college Facebook page for letting them know.
Another said: 'We'll get them when we get them.'
