Quick Guide to Google Classroom
Q. How do we access Google Classroom?
A. Students all have user names and passwords which can be obtained from their homeroom teacher should they forget them. Students can sign in from any device to access their classroom materials or they can visit https://classroom.google.com
Q. Does the student need to check the class each day?
A. Yes, students should open and view comments and assignments in each class every day. While assignments that are due that day pop up on the homepage, notes that teachers have posted appear in the stream and the only notification is to actually click on the class. Parents and students are encouraged to click on every Classroom to read notices from teachers, as well as to see assignments.
Q. Are grades in Google Classroom Official?
A. No. For many reasons, the Google Classroom is one tool used for teaching. While some grades may appear in Google Classroom, because of the need to review work, all official grades will still be recorded in the teacher's grade book and available for parents and students to view in Chalkable/INOW Portal.
