Creating a Class and Adding Students in Google Classroom

Note #1: All classrooms in Powerschool have been automatically added already, so there's no need to add any existing classrooms. This article is for adding classes that don't exist in Powerschool (eg: Social Workers' caseloads, after-school clubs, etc) 

Note #2: If you're looking for trainings and additional information about how to get started with Google Classroom, go here.

Note #3: If you need to add students to an already-existing class, open that class in google classroom and follow the steps starting at Step 4

6 Steps to Creating a Class: If you need to create a classroom from scratch, here's what you need to do:

Step 1

Sign into google classroom with your apps.teamschools.org account:

Step 2

On your classes page, click the plus (+) sign in the upper right corner, in the dropdown that appears, click "Create Class"

Step 3

Name you class, and add a Section, Subject, and Room if applicable.

Step 4

From your class's home page, click People to see who's in your class (because it's a new class, it's only you). To add students click the add icon next to students, type the students' email addresses, and click invite

Step 5

The students will receive an automated email notification to join your class (you don't have to do anything but you may want to let your students know that they should accept the invitation to the class). 

Step 6

Once you've added students to the class, be sure to add your school leader, APs, and any others who should be in the class by clicking the add icon next to teachers and typing in their email addresses.

And that's it! Your class is set up. For more resources/questions, check out the Remote Learning Support Page
