Google classroom is far and away one of the most popular classroom management systems here at St. Francis Preparatory School.  Teachers will provide students with a one-time code to join the class, and after they enroll students will use this as a way to communicate with teachers and submit work.

Click the image to the left for a quick guide on Google Classroom, especially if you're new to using this platform.

Please be sure you have your notifications set up on your iPad, as teachers will post announcements and assignments throughout the day.  You can check this on your iPad by going to Settings>Google Classroom>Notifications and be sure "Allow Notifications" are toggled on.  *You may want to turn sounds off, to make sure those notifications don't make noise while you're in class!

As we said, every student has an email address provided through the school.  This email address will be used by teachers to share information related to class, but also general information from the school regarding activities or school announcements.  Please be sure that your email is set up on your iPad (click on the image to the right for a full set of directions to make sure you have your email set up to come directly to your iPad).  You can also put this email on a phone or another device if you want to make sure you have access to it at all times.

Once you're on the Meet, be sure to remember you are interacting with students and your teacher even if you're not in person, so all school rules apply.  Please look at the etiquette rules to the left; these are general rules that help to keep the Meet efficient for all students.  You can conduct these Meets on your iPad, or any device with a camera where you can log into your @stfrancisprep.org account.  On mobile devices, you will need the google meet app; on your iPad you can get this from self services.
