Win your teacher £20! Google Classrooms going live! Register now

blankDear parents,

Action required – register here – only takes a minute!

From Monday 11th May, we are going live with Google Classrooms (GC). You must register before then for your child to use GC.

GC is the new way that we will set home learning tasks, improve responding to work, and hold more regular class meets (like Zoom). If you don’t register, you won’t be able to take part in these online class meets or access the home learning tasks.

What happens:

  • Register your child here by Friday 8th May at 5pm.
  • The teacher(s) of the class with the highest number of registrations by Friday 5pm will receive a £20 voucher from Mr Applegate (not from school funds though!)
  • You can still register after that point, and you must do so before Monday.
  • Soon after 5pm, you’ll receive the login details for your child and a quick introduction video of how to use GC.

All home learning tasks and online meets will be on Google Classrooms, and only on Google Classrooms, so it is vital that you register before Monday.

GC is safer, easier to maintain, and improves interaction between child and teacher. Whilst the website has been good so far (thanks for your feedback!) it is a lot of work for teachers and difficult to maintain. It’s not really built for supporting learning, particularly compared to Google Classrooms. To find out more more about what Google Classrooms is and why we are using it, click here.
