Your child will be working in their Google Classrooms throughout the year with their homeroom teachers. Right now most teachers are working with their students to help them become familiar with how to sign in and navigate the classroom, as well as how to effectively use Google Meet, a virtual platform. Some families may already be familiar with Google Classroom from last spring during the school closure. For those who are not, please click on this <a href="/Documents/Google%20Classroom%20Family%20FAQ.pdf"><strong class="ms-rteFontSize-3">Family Support Document</strong></a>, so you learn how to support your child if necessary with Google Classroom/Meet. When your child is away from school sick, or if they should need to self-isolate for an extended time period, they will be able to access their school work from their Google Classroom. Please don’t hesitate to contact your child’s teacher should you have any questions or need support with logging in. </span></span></p><span><div><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:calibri, sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"><br></span></div></span><p><br></p> | | | |
