Alder Grove Charter School

Online Classes – View the class schedule and sign up for distance learning classes. We have moved On Campus classes to 100% online instructions for the fall semester. Each online class and CT will have specific instruction on how to access online materials and attend scheduled meetings with your student. Help your student by making their online schedule and school email information easy to access.

 

Google Classroom – Sign into classroom.google.com using your school email account. From there students can access online classes, turn in assignments, links to Google Meet and Zoom from their teacher.

 

Google Classroom access tips:
1. Download and use the Chrome browser.
2. Make sure you are signed into your school email and not a personal gmail account (on gmail.com and the browser). Contact your CT if you do not know your student email account or temporary password.
3. Make sure to allow video/microphone in the browser:

For additional training go to the Classroom Help Center.

 

Student Email Accounts – Contact your CT for help accessing student accounts (Ggogle Workspace for Education). This will give your student access to Google Classroom, Google Drive, Google Docs, Google Meet and more.

 

Chromebooks – Access your google account and Chrome apps by signing into your Chromebook when you first turn it on.

Enter your AGCS username to sign into your Chromebook using your school email account information.

 

If there is an educational app that is "not allowed or "blocked by the Administrator," you may ask your student’s CT to request access. All apps must be vetted for student privacy protections before they are allowed on school provided Chromebooks.
