Dear Chapa Choir Families
In other happier news, I would love to share that our baby is growing well. I am currently 25 weeks pregnant and we found out that we are having a boy =) I am currently due July 6th and all is well.
I hope that you and yours are happy, safe and healthy.
Thank you for your time,
~Mrs. Kylee Garcia
Google Classroom F.A.Q.
- Why wont any of my classes show up when I log in to classroom?
- You must double and triple check that you are logged in to your HAYSCISD google accounts. These are the same email addresses you have been using for chromebook access at school. It is firstnamelastname@g.hayscisd.net.
- If you are on the chrome browser at any point you will also need to be logged in to your hays google account to complete some items like surveys and other google related resources.
- I cannot see the choir class on my classroom app/page
- Please once again be sure you are logged into the correct account. If you still cannot see it then please use the corresponding code for your choir class period above to re-join the class. Almost all students are already enrolled however sometimes they can get accidentally deleted.
