Google Classroom

Google Classroom and WCSD Remote Learning

All teachers in Grades 3 through 8 will utilize Google Classroom to interact with students. This tool offers a virtual classroom space where students collaborate with peers and their teacher. They can view announcements, access posted course content, view posted assignments, and turn in completed work. Students will also submit assignments through this platform. Students also have GMail email accounts to allow them to receive notifications when their teacher leaves them feedback on an assignment. These email accounts are restricted so that students can only interact with a WCSD staff member.

Classroom teachers will invite parents and guardians to connect to their child’s Google Classroom. As a guardian, you must receive and accept an email invitation before you can receive weekly email summaries. Only teachers and administrators from your student’s school can send these invitations.

You will have 120 days to accept an invitation before it expires.

The teacher or administrator emails you an invitation for a particular student.

1. In your email program, open your email invitation.

2. Click Accept.

3. If you’re not the guardian, click I’m Not The Guardian.

Please note that any activity in Google Classroom is for student use only and can only be accessed through the student’s Walnut Creek School District (@walnutcreeksd.org) login. It would be inappropriate for a parent to communicate with the teacher or other students in Google Classroom using their child’s login. Parents should use their personal email to communicate directly with the classroom teacher.
