PARENT'S CORNER
I am excited to have your student in my classes this year. There are a few things I want you to be aware of. First, I use Google Classroom to post assignments and announcements for class. Your student may even have an assignment where they have to post comments, posts, or assignments using this. They will receive, complete, and submit assignments through Classroom using digital tools like Google Drive. Open Classroom on your student's device to see more information, including the course syllabus, upcoming assignments, and more. If you would like to be notified of posts on Google Classroom, send me an e-mail at soneill@usd355.org and I will invite you. The best thing about this is that you get to choose how often you are notified of posts, daily or weekly, and you will see all assignments posted for that interval.
