Google Classroom for 24-25 SY

 If you use Google Classroom, your classes for the 24-25 school year should appear in your teacher panel.  They are fully rostered and synced daily with Infinite Campus.

Below are a few important notes:

1.   You may want to Accept only your first trimester classes and take care of the rest later. 
      You may 'decline' the classes that will not be using Google Classroom.

Once Accepted, the class will appear in your students' Google Classroom portal. 
No class code is then needed for students to 'enroll'.




2. These classes are named from Infinite Campus.  Once, accepted, I would strongly recommend changing the name to one that makes sense for both you and your students.  See images below that show you to make this update.  

The Settings button is found in the upper right corner.  Note the arrow in the image.
You may customize the background, too - that is found by clicking on the Customize button.  

I recommend using a naming convention like either one of these:
"Integrated Math 2A  Pd. 1 Tri. 1"     OR  "Mr. Gruman 10th Math Pd. 2"











3. I have this set so that students are only added from Infinite Campus.  If a student is removed from your class list, you will have to manually remove them from your Google Classroom roster.


4.  Assignments from previous classes - such as those from last year - may be imported into these 24-25 classes.  Look for the prompt 'Reuse Post' to bring in those assignments.  Refer to the image below on how to import assignments.










___________

- You may still create your own classes as desired.  Rosters will not be synced though.
- Grades are not synced.  This is only a one-way pass of data from Infinite Campus to Google
- You may add a co-teacher in Google Classroom.
- Please do not delete your classes at the end of the school year.  It's best practice to simply archive them.


Please let me know as you have questions about this.
