Google Classroom

Google Classroom provides a solution for extending classes beyond the four walls of the classroom. Teachers create Google Classrooms for each of their course sections and invite students to join the virtual classroom. In this online environment, students and teachers engage in a digital workflow. Assignments can be digitally copied, distributed, completed, submitted, and graded through Google Classroom. Teachers can post links to presentations, websites, screencasts, and videos, flipping the classroom to provide remote instruction. Parents can choose to receive Guardian Summaries, which are daily or weekly email updates of assignments and missed work. Please reference the links below for more resources regardingGoogle Classroom.

ScreenGuide

Our district offers a 1:1 iPad program beginning in Prekindergarten and extending until students graduate from high school. Typically, students begin bringing the device home with them each day in third grade. In school, the iPads facilitate digital workflows and provide students access to a wealth of curated online resources and learning platforms. To support parents when the devices are at home, the school district offers ScreenGuide, which is a platform that allows parents to set restrictions on the school device while it is at home. Please click the link below to learn more about setting up ScreenGuide.
