Sign in with your district Google account if prompted.

Step 2 – Create a New Class

On the Classes page, click the + Add button in the upper-right corner.
Select Create class.

Note: If you don’t see the Create class option, your account may be restricted to joining classes only. Try switching accounts or contact IT for assistance.

Step 3 – Enter Class Details

Section – Optional. Add a short description, grade level, or class time.
Subject – Optional. Type a subject name or choose one from the suggestions.
Room – Optional. Enter the classroom location (e.g., Room 102).

Step 4 – Create the Class

When finished, click Create.
Google Classroom will build your class and generate a unique class code.

Info: Share the class code with students so they can join. The code is always visible at the top of your class stream page.
