My name is Celeste Apodaca and I have been teaching at Mesquite Junior High School for 10 years. I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Applied Biological Sciences. I currently teach both 8th Grade Science and Arizona Ecology.

In 8th grade science the students use Google Classroom for many things. Google Classroom offers a digital safe space for students to view class announcements, access posted course content, view posted assignments, turn in completed work, access a daily calendar which includes the agenda and homework, view notes taken in class, and use posted study tools such as Quizlet.
Parents can access their child’s teachers’ Google Classroom in one of the following ways:
From the school-issued Chromebook, ask the student to log in and launch the Google Classroom App.
From any computer with internet access, click this link https://classroom.google.com and have the student login with their GPS Google Apps for education username and password.
As a guardian, you must receive and accept an email invitation before you can receive email summaries. Only teachers and administrators from your student’s school can send these invitations. You have 120 days to accept an invitation before it expires.
The teacher or administrator emails you an invitation for a particular student.
The teacher or administrator can send the invitation to any email address.
In your email program, open your email invitation.
Click Accept.
If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian.
You can choose the frequency of the emails, such as daily or weekly.
You can unsubscribe or remove yourself from Classroom at any time.
Guardian email summaries include:
Missing work—Work that’s late at the time the email was sent
Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or work that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails)
Class activity—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers
