The Parents’ Guide to
Google Classroom
for Elwood School District
What is
Google Classroom?
Think of Google Classroom (GC)
as your child’s digital link to learning.
Teachers use GC to share assignments, homework, newsletters, and much more with students AND parents!
Getting Ready
Your child was provided with a secure login and password that is unique to them.
