eLearning Notes

Students should be communicating questions in Zoom calls or using the comment feature in Google Classroom, if the teacher has shown that feature.

Missing work? – Here is how students can check on all work.

• In Google Classroom – click classwork, view my work, and then they get the whole list of all assignments, assigned and not yet due, missing work, and graded and returned work with all the teachers’ feedback.

• Click here for a video on how to follow the steps above to find missing work in Google Classroom.

Just a reminder that when you are viewing grades, make sure you are checking ParentWeb. This is the official grade book for SVDP.
