Google Classroom:

Students use Google Classroom daily at Smith. They should know exactly how to log in and use it independently.

Some tips for using Google Classroom at home:

  1. Make sure you are logging in with your school email/password
  2. Check to see if your internet browser is logged into a different account. You may need to log in to your school account through your browser as well.
  3. Check your school gmail account for updates from Google Classroom. You get alerts there whenever your teachers post!
  4. Use the classwork tab at the top of the page!!! It is often easier to find materials through this tab than through scrolling the stream!
  5. There’s an app for that!!!!! If you cannot log in through a computer, use the app!!! (parents CANNOT use the app as a guardian)

Some Google Classroom tips for parents/guardians:

  1. You can become a guardian for your child in Google Classroom. Give your email address to one of your child’s teachers and they can invite you to the system. If you are a guardian in one class, you are already listed as a guardian in all of your child’s other classes.
    1. You will get emails when announcements are made
    2. You will get weekly summaries sent to your email of all announcements and assignments
  2. You can ask your child to log in to Google Classroom and show you what they are doing in each of their classes. We will all be updating Google Classroom regularly throughout the closure.
  3. If you have any questions about Google Classroom, email me directly
