Option 1:

The first method to add students to your Google Classroom involves a Class Code.

Click on the People tab.
Under the Students category, look for the phrase " Invite students or give them the class code: aqx4cik".
The random collection of letters will be your Class Code.

Share the Class Code with your students. You can then use the following directions to help your students Join your Class.

Teacher says: "Please log in to your OUHSD Gmail. Your personal Gmails will not work."
Teacher says: "Please click on the Waffle in the top right corner."
Teacher says: "Please click on the Classroom icon."
Teacher says: "Please click on the plus sign (+) in the top right corner.
Teacher says: "Please click on Join Class"
Teacher says: "Please enter the following Class Code"

It is recommended that you display the Class Code on your screen or write it on the board for students to see.

Option 2:

The second method is to add each student by name or email address. This can be more of a hassle because you have to get all of your student's email addresses and type them in individually.

Click on the People tab.
Next to the Students category, you will see an icon that looks like a person with a plus sign. Click that icon.
Start typing a name or ID number and you should see the student's name and email.
Click Invite.
The students will then receive an email, or they can see and accept the new course in Classroom.
