Google Classroom: Guide for Parents and Carers

At Langstone Junior Academy, we use Google Classroom for both in-school and remote learning.  Your child will have access to Google Classroom using a school email address and a password which has been given to your child.

Google Classroom has been designed to support pupils having access to increased online learning and crucially develop stronger communication directly with teachers. It allows pupils and staff to collaborate on one learning platform. Your child can access work that has been assigned by their teacher, complete the work online and share with their teacher. Your child’s class teacher can then give feedback and support your child accordingly in their learning.
