Google Classroom is the app our teachers use to post information for their students about class work, homework assignments, quizzes, etc. All Latin students join their teacher’s Google Classroom for each of their classes.
Parents/guardians may also use Google Classroom to stay informed about their children’s classes. Here is how to sign up:
- Parents/guardians do not log in directly to Google Classroom, nor can they “join” the classroom as students do.
- Instead, they may sign up to receive email summaries from Google Classroom on a daily or weekly basis. You must opt-in to receive these summaries.
- To sign up for the summaries, look for an invitation to join from Google Classroom. See a screenshot of this email below:
These invitations were sent to the parents/guardians of NEW students and to parents/guardians of returning students who did sign up from the initial Google Classroom invitation.
- These invitations were sent in mid-September directly from Google Classroom (though the Washington Latin Tech team was behind those emails!) Please check your spam folder if you do not find the email in your inbox.
- The invitation emails went to the email address listed in PowerSchool. Guardians may change the email address where they receive the summaries on their own and do not need to contact the school to do so.
- Parents/guardians who believe they should have received an email but did not should submit a ticket in our tech help system: https://latinpcs.incidentiq.com/guest/9BXWBFNN/guest-user-support-ticket
- Once you opt in for Google Classroom summaries, you will receive summaries all year AND in future years without having to re-register to receive the summaries.
After you have accepted the invitation in Google Classroom as a Guardian for your child, you will start receiving daily or weekly summary emails for all work assigned in their classes, as well as any materials and announcements posted in each class’s feed.
