Greetings students. This year we will be using Google Classroom in PIT/AAVTC and Concepts of Engineering. Google Classroom is a free and secure learning network for teachers, students, and schools. It provides a safe way for us to connect, share content, access homework, participate in discussions and receive class information.
Google Classroom is accessible online and through any mobile device with Internet capabilities – including free apps for iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Android devices. Students can access their account from any mobile device or computer.
Students who violate the guidelines above may face disciplinary action and/or face losing the privilege of using Classroom.
I look forward to a great year as we incorporate the use of technology into our classroom curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].

- Classroom will not be used as a social network. This tool will be used strictly for educational purposes using the following guidelines:
- Students will be required to use appropriate grammar instead of texting language
- Classroom does not allow private student-to-student messaging- the site will be used to discuss school-related content only
- No put-downs or sarcasm toward another’s ideas. All school rules and consequences related to harassment apply
Students who violate the guidelines above may face disciplinary action and/or face losing the privilege of using Classroom.
I look forward to a great year as we incorporate the use of technology into our classroom curriculum. If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected].
