Google Help
At The Classroom Collective, we use Google Workspace for Education, which is a set of education productivity tools from Google including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and more used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world. At TCC, students will use their Google Workspace for Education accounts to complete assignments, communicate with their teachers and classmates, and keep track of their grades.
Are students required to use the TCC-issued Google account?
Students must use the TCC-issued Google account to access their Google Classroom and email correspondence with teachers. Students may not join a class with a Google account outside of the @classroomcollectiveok domain.
How do I set up my student's TCC-issued Google account?
1. Go to classroom.google.com
2. Your student's unique account is firstname.lastname@classroomcollectiveok.com.
3. Contact TCC or check the parent email for the temporary password.
4. You may now help your child join their classes by either forwarding the links to their TCC account from step one or by letting them manually join in their Classroom account. Please be sure that your student is joining from their account (not the parent account).
Can I join my student's class?
Parents will not be allowed to join a Google classroom as a student. It becomes difficult for teachers to sort out students/parents when they all appear in one list. You may access your student's grades by using their login credentials.
What is a guardian account?
A guardian is a parent with whom the student account is associated. Guardians receive automatic weekly updates and summaries for each student. **Please note, many teachers do not use the guardian update feature since we cannot control when it gets sent. This is often an unreliable source of information.
How can I view my student's grades?
Google only allows the student accounts access to grades. You may use your student's login credentials to access his/her account and view grades from the CLASSWORK tab, "View My Work" link.
What happens if my student forgets the password?
Our administrative team can reset your password. Request a new password here. You will be sent an email reset message from Google which will be valid for 48 hours.
