Google Classroom for Students
What is Google Classroom?
Google Classroom is the online tool where teachers will post lessons and announcements, collect student work, house resources, and provide feedback on assignments. All students in grades 3-12 will use Google Classroom for all their classes. Parents are provided an opportunity to get summaries of what is happening in Google classroom.
How Does a Student Connect with Google Classroom?
All students are automatically added to their Classroom according to their class schedule. Students access Google Classroom through Classlink but also have the option of downloading the Google Classroom app on their phone or other device.
What Should Students Expect to See in Google Classroom?
All assignments and materials are available under the Classwork tab, and will include the the date it was assigned (ex: Test Review 10/31). The title of the assignment will match what can be found in Powerschool. Teachers will attach all assignments and materials to a topic. These topic will include a descriptor (ex: Unit 1 Fractions) to easily organize and locate course materials. All grades and missing assignments will be communicated through Powerschool. The Stream will be used for updates and announcements only. Students should always remember to push "submit" when completing and turning in an assignment.
How can you easily see upcoming assignments and announcements?
For all of your classes, you can quickly see upcoming assignments and announcements and what’s late or missing. Students can see this easily by using the To Do feature of Google Classroom. There are different ways to view classwork:
See work for all classes - You can see a list of all your work for all classes class.
Go to Google Classroom.
At the top, click To-do and choose an option:
To see work assigned by your teacher, click Assigned.
To see work that you didn't turn in, click Missing.
To see work that your teacher graded or returned, click Done.

Check for late or missing assignments - Your teacher sets the late-work policies for your class. However, Classroom doesn’t prevent you from turning in work after the due date. When your teacher assigns work, it’s marked Assigned. If you don't turn in your work on time, it's marked Missing or Done late as soon as the due date or time arrives. For example, if work is due at 9:00 AM, turn it in by 8:59 AM. If you turn it in at 9:00 AM, it's late.
