Google Classroom is being utilized more now than ever!

 

But the emails can FLOOD your inbox and make it difficult to figure out if

-a friend emailed

-the school emailed

-a teacher sent you a personal email

-a college sent you a personal email

-a request was made by guidance

-if someone replied to your email

 

So you can set up a folder in your gmail account to handle this automatically!

 

1st: Sign in to your school gmail account.

UN: Year that you graduate First initial Last name @ salemcitysd.org

PW: SCSD(your student id)

 

2nd: Create a new label

Scroll all the way down on the left by your inbox

If you don't see it, try click the down-arrow that is labelled "More"

Then Click "+ Create new label"

Title it "Google Classroom"

 

3rd: Open an email from Google Classroom

 

4th : Click the 3 vertical dots at the top right

 

5th: Choose the option "Filter messages like this"

 

6th: Change the "From" category to have only "@classroom.google.com"

 

7th: Click "Create filter" at the bottom

 

8th: Check the boxes that say "Skip the inbox" , "Apply the label..." and, "Never send it to spam",  then open the drop-down menu and click Google Classroom.

 

9th: Click "Create filter"

 

Then your messages should automatically go to that folder. Don't forget to check it every day!
