• Google Classroom

      Google Classroom will be used this year by this teacher for any possible missing assignments, notes, and work. Each student has a GSE (Google Suites for Education account with an associated email)

       Google Classroom Guide

      Students will get a class code and access instructions from their teacher. 

      Students can also download the Google Classroom app (iphone).  Android users will need an additional app before they can download the Google Classroom app, called Google Apps Device Policy.  Once they download this app, and login with their GSE account, it will create a work profile on their phone.  This prohibits the district from accesssing their personal information on their phones.  They will need to look for the Google Play app that has a briefcase on the bottom.  For Samsung users, it is located in their Workspace.  From there, they can download Google Classroom.  Some Android devices will have a separate tab for work or personal apps.
