Access to Google Classroom is via classroom.google.com.

Students can quickly see what classes they are enrolled in.

Parents do not get a login, however they can opt in to Parent Guardian emails.

Clicking on the name of a Class takes you to that Class Stream.

In the Stream, students can see any announcments or assignments that the teacher has posted. A teacher might have turned off assignments in the Stream to better organise their work, and to keep the Stream tidy. This is something to be aware of when looking for the latest assignments. Teachers will use the Stream to communicate such things as helpful resources, upcoming test announcments or even to start a class discusion.

If you want to enhance your assignment portfolio, you can add other files.
