Google Classroom – We are aware of the difficulties that parents are having whilst accessing Google Classroom.  Unfortunately, the only way that it can be resolved is by logging in as the child, you cannot access all the features using your own email account.  It must be a recognised C2k account.  Letters have been issued with all details required for logging in, if you would like the letter re-issued please email info@keving153.sg-host.com or contact the school office.  There are some classes that will be setting a monthly homework on Google Classroom, therefore it is important that you enrol.
