Accessing Google Classroom

Your student can access Google Classroom using a phone (iPhone or Android), tablet, or computer (Mac, PC, or Chromebook). Students will use their school provided email address to log in to Google Classroom.

Parents do NOT have direct access to Classroom, but are welcome to log in with their student to review course content.
