The difference in signing into a website versus the Chrome browser:
Website sign-in: Signing in to a website allows the website to remember some of your preferences and information.
Chrome sign-in: Signing in to Chrome connects your Google Account to your browser for a more personalized browsing experience. All your Chrome data, like your bookmarks, history, passwords, and other settings, is synced to your Google Account and available on any device where you sign in to Chrome. You'll also be automatically signed in to Gmail, YouTube, Search, or other Google services.
Steps to sign in to Chrome
To sign in to Chrome, follow these steps:
If you have more than one account or you share your computer with others, learn how to manage multiple people in Chrome.
Open the Google Chrome browser.
In the top right, click the button with your name or People .
Click Sign in to Chrome.
Enter the student's email address. Example: 3201XXXX@redhawks.marshallpublicschools.org
Your student(s) password depends their grade level. Example:
Grades K-5: r2d2
Grades 6-12: r2d2 or DOB (1/3/02 = 01032003) or ***student defined***
If you are unable to use Google Chrome, you can still sign in from a different web browser.
To do so, navigate to: www.google.com
Click "Sign in" button on the right-hand side (NOTE: if someone else is signed in you will need to sign them off).
Enter the student's email address. Example: 3201XXXX@redhawks.marshallpublicschools.org
Your student(s) password depends their grade level. Example:
Grades K-5: r2d2
Grades 6-12: r2d2 or DOB (1/3/02 = 01032003) or ***student defined***
From a web browser, navigate to: https://classroom.google.com/
If the student is already signed into Google, they will NOT be prompted to sign in. However, if they are not, repeat above steps before clicking the waffle in the right hand corner before selecting Google Classroom.
Any classes the student is enrolled into should be listed on the page.
Remind is a two-way messaging and communication tool we will be using across the district. In the past, several teachers have used this tool to communicate lesson or classroom updates. We have added this tool for every teacher across the district and asked they continue to communicate through this tool.
However, some teachers had already established classroom communication tools with other solutions, such as Bloomz. If such were true, we did not want to disrupt these already established forms of communications and have asked they continue using there form of communication.
As has been our practice, we will continue to utilize School Messenger for all district wide communications.
