Google Classrooms

Important changes to how Google Classroom will be operating

From Monday 11th January we will be using new Google Classroom profiles to improve the organisation and make it easier for yours and your child’s access.  They will be in an online classroom for just their allocated year groups.  Access to Google Classrooms will still stay the same.  This will help to access your child’s work more easily and staff to engage more easily with your child’s home learning.

The strict rules for the usage of Google Classroom remain in place and are still monitored by Governors and Staff.  Staff will not be expected to communicate out of school times and are not expected to reply immediately due to timetables.

Please see the following steps and guidance to enable you to sign up for your new Classroom.

You will need to use a new class code to join a new classroom, this can be found on the Google Classroom homepage by clicking the + button and join a class.  For additional support and steps please see the link below.

Notes for Google Classroom

• As a parent, you can join multiple classrooms with the same email account if you have more than one child in the school and would like to switch quickly between year groups. You can also switch between existing email accounts by clicking on the circle in the top right corner.
• Please make sure your name is a proper name (ie not a nickname). A parents name is fine. You can edit this in settings > personal info.
• Please make sure that when you submit work on Google Classrooms you add a comment and attach your completed work.
• Turn in English work that has been completed on Purple Mash.
• Please see the suggested timetable and online agreement at the top of each classroom.
