Step 4: Click on the “waffle” button and find the google classroom icon
Step 5: In order to “join a class” click on the (+) sign at the top right corner and then type in the class code given to you - If you were not given a class code please contact me and I will share it with you

This feature will allow you to set up different notifications regarding your child's work, any missing work, activities, etc. Email summaries do not include grades. For grades, you will need to visit the Tyler grading system. (Side note: you MUST have a google account to do this)
In email summaries, you can review:
Missing work—Work not turned in when the summary was sent.
Upcoming work—Work that’s due today and tomorrow (for daily emails) or that’s due in the upcoming week (for weekly emails).
Class activities—Announcements, assignments, and questions recently posted by teachers.
If there’s no activity to report or if I turn off email notifications, you might not get an email summary for that particular week.
‼️You can get email summaries sent to any email address. However, to view or update email summary settings, you need a Google Account. ‼️ With a Google Account, you can change the frequency of your emails, update your time zone, see the students connected to your account, and unsubscribe from email summaries. ‼️
If you unsubscribe from email summaries, you’re still connected to a student as long as you have a Google Account. Otherwise, unsubscribing removes you as a guardian.

You can access your child's math and reading books by choosing the red icon "McGraw Hill." We will be using our hardback books most of the time, but just in case this is where you can locate them.
