As of now, all parents/guardians have been emailed with a set of detailed instructions for how to access Google Classroom for your child, including a class code. If you have not yet received this, please let me know immediately. If you HAVE received it, be sure that your child has accessed Google Classroom ASAP.
This Saturday and Sunday, I am going to post a couple "practice assignments" for the students to get a feel for the platform, and try out completing assignments online, and uploading attachments. Let your child know to keep an eye out for these tasks, as it will make things run a lot smoother on Monday if we've all tried out the platform already.
Also, I am planning to run a "Class Meetup" on Google Meet at 9:30am on Monday, to touch base with students face-to-face, give them a chance to catch up with each other, and walk them through the platform a bit, as well as go over expectations. Please plan to support your child in having access to a device with a microphone at that time. Although I've never done an online meet up before, I anticipate it will take about 45 minutes. I will post more information on the "Stream" in our Google Classroom on Sunday evening.
Lastly, after this weekend, I will no longer be updating this blog (until we return to the classroom). I will be moving all parent communication and updates over to Google Classroom and e-mail.
