Google Classroom App
If you are finding the Google Classroom desktop site, tricky to use. We have found that downloading the Google Classroom app is working a lot easier for some of our families. It enables an easier process to upload images of your child's work from your mobile, you get notifications of replies from your class teachers in the private comments section and maybe easier for some to navigate.
We have attached a picture of the app logo to lookout for when searching on your phone.
We hope that this may work better for some of you, as always any questions just ask.
The website below contains some coronavirus help and support as well as some other really useful information for parents, grandparents and carers, who maybe struggling with everything going on at the moment. Including anxiety, managing challenging behaviour, sleep and gaming addiction to mention a few.
The website is easy to use and has many videos and downlaodable resources that can easily be found.
