This GOOGLE FORM system should make for a simple - one time setup, but please ONLY use the links in this document. It is NOT meant to be shared in any other way, and it will only work with OCDSB accounts.
It should take about 10 minutes to set up - more like 5 if you're already familiar with Google Sheets.
This Online Instruction Guide will take you step by step. The videos posted here will also give you an idea of what's involved
