Google Classroom

.

Seeing as most of our course work has been transitioned to Google Classroom, we here at The Cave have made the executive decision that our daily updates will no longer be posted on The Cave. Instead, daily updates will appear in the Google Classroom for each of Mr. Kelly’s courses.

The Cave will remain a holding cell for student exemplars and general housekeeping items for Mr. Kelly’s classes.

For students, to access the Google Classroom, go to https://classroom.google.com/h. You can sign in using your school Cloud account (yourusername@cloud.edu.pe.ca).

For parents, you can also access the Google Classroom and follow along with your son or daughter.  All you need is a gmail account and you can sign up in to see our daily updates, notes and assignments.

For our fellow teachers, you can also follow along in the Google Classroom.  Just email Mr. Kelly at mkelly@edu.pe.ca and he will gladly add you to any of his class lists.

For the first semester of the 2016-17 school year, the following are the codes for Mr. Kelly’s courses:
