Removing Classroom Notifcations

Google Classroom classes will be created on the second day of a section's starting term.

You can create and use your own classes, just know that the district created classes will be update as student leave and are added to your classes.

The District only created graded classes in Google Classroom. But your graded Reading, Writing and Math classes probably have the same students. So you can choose one of those classes, rename it to "Homeroom 101" and use it for content in more than one subject or all subjects.

You can create and use your own classes, just know that the district created classes will update as students are added or removed from your classes.

Open up Google Classroom and click on the +, a window will pop up with two options one is to "Join a class" and other is "Create a class". Click create a class, name your class, enter section, subject and room and then click the "create" button.

Open the class and add your students or send your students the join code.

When a student is invited but has not accepted, you cannot interact with that student yet. The student needs to accept the Classroom invite and then the student's name will be normally and you can post assignments or comments to that students.

This is because you are also logged in to a personal Google account and a philasd.org Google account at the same time. Make sure that you completely logged out of any personal Google accounts when using Google Classroom:

1. In the upper right corner, click your account picture and choose Sign out.

2. Make sure that all accounts are listed as "signed out".

3. Log back in with your District philasd.org account, and try it again.

1. Open the Class and click on the People tab.

2. Under Students, locate the student and check the box next to the name.

3. At the top of the Students list, click Actions, then Remove.

4. When asked to confirm removal of the student, click Remove.

Yes, they can. They can use LittleSIS and add themself to the Google Classroom for an hour, a day, or forever. Please click here for directions for LittleSIS.

Counselors will need to manually create Google Classrooms based on their needs, and then provide the class join codes to students. To create a classroom for all students based on grade level, follow these directions:

1.) If you haven’t already created your classroom, go to https://classroom.google.com and create the Google Classroom, and make note of the “class code” to join.

2.) There is an Import Contact Tool available – go to the “Google Mail (Calendar, Contacts)” section of this page (below) for the question “How do I import contacts for the students and staff at my school?” and follow the link there. This will allow you to import whole grades of students from your school into your contacts, organized in a contacts “label” (or folder).

3.) Go to Google Contacts (https://contacts.google.com) and make note of the label name on the left side for the grade level.

4.) Go to Gmail (https://mail.google.com) and start a new message. Type in the name of the “label” from Contacts, and it should auto-complete there. This email will go to all students in that grade. Then, in the body of the message, type in the “class code” to allow all students to join that Classroom.

The District is currently synchronizing graded sections from the SIS as they exist, which focuses on courses rather than homerooms. Your current graded classroom sections should already exist in Google Classroom for you. Student rosters are synchronized nightly with the SIS. We cannot combine or change those sections to provide a single Google Classroom or homeroom.

If you have classes in common with the same students, then you can choose one of those classes, rename it if you'd like and use it for content in more than one subject with those students.

Yes, they can. They will need to see their college or university supervisor and they will walk them through all the paperwork and finger printing, that needs to be submitted to HR. Once that has been completed the district will assign them a district username. Then you can invite them into your Google Classroom.

Long-term substitutes needed to have philasd.org accounts because only philasd.org users can be teachers in Google Classroom. But you can invite outsiders into your Google Meet like you might have a visitor come to your classroom.

No, only staff and students within the philasd.org domain can be added to the Google Classrooms. If the parent wishes, the tutor can view the student's work when the student logs in or the parent can download the work if the student needs assistance with any of the assignments.

Parents and guardians cannot use the student class code to join a Google Classroom. The class code will only work to invite students. Parents can only receive email summaries of class activities. If you wish to invite a parent or guardian to receive email summaries from Google Classroom, then follow these steps for each of the student's guardians:

1. Open a Google Classroom class where the student is enrolled

2. Click on People and find the student

3. Highlight the student and select Invite Guardians

4. Enter the email address of the parent or guardian to invite them - If you need to invite more than one parent for the same student type in the first email address press the enter and enter the second.

5. Once you have entered the email address(es) click on invite.

Parents/guardians now will receive an email to set up how often they would like to receive the emails. Once that is done the Parents or guardians will receive summary emails showing upcoming work and missing assignments. They will not have access to Google Classroom itself.

Follow these steps to remove a guardian from the summary emails for a student. This action removes the guardian from all of the student’s classes at your school, not just the classes you teach.

1. Go to https://classroom.google.com.

2. Open a Google Classroom class where the student is enrolled.

3. At the top, click People.

4. Next to the student’s guardian’s name, click More > Remove guardians.

5. If the student has one guardian, click Remove.

6. If the student has multiple guardians, check the box for the appropriate guardian and click Remove.

When you remove a guardian, you, the removed guardian, and the student will each receive a confirmation email.

No, parents and guardians cannot use the student class code to join a Google Classroom. The class code will only work to invite students.

No. Once a guardian is invited and accepts for one class, the guardian is linked to their student in all classes. The guardian gets email summaries for all classes that teachers have turned on the service.

Once you invite the first parent, their name will appear with the student’s name on the “People” Tab of Google Classroom. To add a second parent, click the 3 dots at the end of that row, and choose “Invite Guardians” to send an invite to a second parent for that same student.

No. When you invite parents, they can’t get into Classroom. Instead, guardians get an email summary of their student’s work, which contains information about missing work, upcoming work, and class activity. Learn more about guardian email summaries.

No. When you invite parent and guardians in Google Classroom and they click Accept, they will receive weekly summaries to that email address. However, with a free Google Account, they can change their frequency of the email summaries. See the question How do parents and guardian manage their guardian email settings? For information on Google Accounts, see How accounts work.

Note: To manage email summary settings, you need a free Google Account. You don’t need a Gmail address to create a Google Account. To create one with your current email address, see Create your Google Account.

If you have a Google Account

Go to https://classroom.google.com/gs, where you can see the students connected to your account and manage 2 settings:

• The frequency of your emails

• Your time zone

If you don’t have a Google Account

You only get weekly emails and can’t change any settings.

No. Once a guardian is invited and accepts for one class, the guardian is linked to their student in all classes. The guardian gets email summaries for all classes that teachers have turned on the service.

1. Open the Class and click on the People tab.

2. Under Students, locate the student and check the box next to the name.

3. At the top of the Students list, click Actions, then Mute.

4. When asked to confirm muting the student, click Mute.

Follow these directions to send email messages from Google Classroom. You can send messages to all student in 1 classroom at a time:

https://support.google.com/edu/classroom/answer/6025210?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en

Open Google Classroom and click on the class where the student is enrolled. Click on the People tab. Double click on the student.

Option #1

1. Create the assignment post and schedule it in one classroom.

2. Go to another classroom that you would like to post the same assignment in and navigate to the classwork tab.

3. Click the "create" button in the upper right and select "reuse assignment".

4. In the "reuse assignment" tool, find the classroom you posted to originally and locate the assignment you wish to post to the new classroom. Click "reuse assignment".

5. When the assignment tool pops up to schedule to the classroom, click the down arrow next to "assign" and select "schedule" then set your desired date and time.

6. Repeat for each classroom you wish to post the assignment in.

Note: If you have multiple classes selected you will not be able to select "schedule".

Option #2

1. Create the post, and select all the classes you would like to schedule to.

2. Instead of clicking "schedule" or "assign", choose "save as draft". This will save it as a draft in all the classrooms.

3. Visit each classroom and edit the assignment. Select "schedule" and set a date.

While I realize that none of these workarounds is as quick or convenient as being able to post to multiple classes, they are the best workarounds for the time being. I do highly recommend that you send your feedback to the developers as outlined above to show your support for this feature request.

1) Open the Class where you want the copy(reuse) assignment added

2) Click on Classwork

3) Click on + Create button

4) Click on Reuse Post

5) Select the Class where the Assignment is located

6) At the bottom of the window can click on the checkbox to create new copies of all attachments (optional)

7) Select the assignment

8) Click on the blue "reuse" button at the bottom of window

When a student receives this error for an assignment, ask the student to follow these steps:

1. Click the Classwork tab at the top

2. Click on the assignment title to expand the assignment

3. Click on View Assignment

4. Locate Your Work in the top right corner and click on the file with your name on it

If you used the Make a Copy for Each Student feature, the attachment gets created for students when they open the assignment for the first time. You are seeing no attachment because those students have not opened that assignment. When they do, the document will be created and accessible to you.

If you attached documents from your drive and selected the option to make a copy for every student, that copy does not get generated until the student actually opens the assignment. You are seeing documents for students who have opened it already. Google Classroom will generate the assignments for the students who currently do not have it when they enter the class and open the assignment.

The District does not support synchronizing assignments from other platforms or systems into Google Classroom.

No, the District does not support grade or score pass-back into the SIS at this time. You will need manually enter any grade-bearing scores for students into your SIS Gradebook.

In June 2019, Google and Infinite Campus announced a partnership to develop this ability. Once it has been released, the District will review it to determine if it will function and meet our needs.

Go to Google Classroom, then click on the stack icon (three lines) in the upper left corner of the screen.

Choose Archived Classes. For each Class you want to restore: in the upper-right corner of the card, click the three-dot icon and chose “Restore” to make them active again.

Then click on the stack icon (three lines) in the upper left corner again.

Choose Classes. The archived classes will be there now.
