Learning how to use Google Drive has changed my life!! I promise that you will be so glad you learned how to use it because it is such a great way to stay organized and collaborate with others…..like ME =D! I have included a link to your Google Folder on the "Family Folders" page of this website. You will be able to access your General Information Sheet, Curriculum Planner, Annual Planner and iReady Results but you will need to have a Google Account to do so.

If you have a Google account, you can access Google Drive, Google Calendar, Google Everything! But let’s just focus on Google Drive for our purposes. All the documents including your General Info Sheet, Curriculum Planner, and Annual Planner can be accessed from your Google Drive very easily. You can easily find it anytime you need it and you can even edit your Annual Planner and Curriculum Planner with any necessary changes to your plans. We can always see the most current version without having to keep emailing an updated version to each other.

I just ask that your plans not be changed in your Annual Planner once the Learning Period has begun without letting me know. The plans need to be set by the first day of each Learning Period as I create Learning Plans in Oasis for each student by then. Email me to let me know whenever changes are made to this document!

If You Already Have a Gmail: That means you already have a google account.  If the email I have is different, you can let me know to share your Family Folder with you using your Gmail instead so you can access it that way.

Step 1: Go to the Family Folders page of this website.

Step 2: Click on your Family Folder and that is it!

You will find your General Info Sheet, Curriculum Planner, Annual Planner, assessments/results and any other important documents in this Family Folder. Documents I have shared in “View Only” mode cannot be edited but the Annual Planner and Curriculum Planner which I share with you in “Edit” mode can be edited by you. It saves automatically as you type. 

You will have this Family Folder open during our LP meetings so you can easily access this information to look at as we meet. It is a wonderful and easy way to collaborate and see everything in real time! This is so important as we meet virtually.

If You Do Not Have a Google Account: This does not mean you need to change your email. You can open a google account using your current email (like yahoo)! I found a website that seems to explain the process really clearly.

How to Create a Google Account with a Non-Google Email (link)

Once you have done that, you will be able to access your Family Folders using the instructions above as long as you are signed into your google account! Please connect your google account to the email I have on file for you as that is the one I shared your Family Folder with.

If you have any trouble, give me a call and I can help walk you through it! It is very simple to do!
