Students

  • If the classroom app on an iPad is just spinning when a student is trying to log in or access a class, have them hard reset the iPad. This should fix the issue.

    • To do a hard reset, hold both the home button and power button down until the screen goes black but DON’T release until they see the apple logo. Then release the buttons and it will restart.

  • If a student receives a message about needing permission to access a file/document they should check with the teacher to make sure they have the correct sharing permissions for the file/document.

Parents/Guardians

  • When you receive an invitation as a parent/Guardian, you will not have access to the actual Google Classroom. Instead, guardians get an email summary of their student’s work, which contains information about missing work, upcoming work, and class activity.

  • More info on Guardian Summaries here: guardian email summaries.

  • When one teacher deletes a guardian, it deletes the guardian in ALL the classes. This may be why a guardian could keep disappearing from classes. Contact your child's teacher if this happens.
