Announcements from your Teacher

Announcements from your teacher will be found on the Stream when you first open Classroom. Look carefully because this is important information your teacher needs you to know. Some of your teachers may allow you to click on reply and ask questions. If so, make sure your comment is nice and helpful to others.

Note: You may see assignments on the stream with due dates. If so, it is better to keep up with these on the Classwork page.
