Subscribe to Teacher Class Pages | | Receive Homework Alerts & Submit Assignments Online
Now students and parents alike can subscribe to teacher class pages on the GCIT web site and receive automated emails each day as teachers post assignments to their webpages.
This feature is known as the "Student Vault." The feature is currently only available for teachers who have created class pages on the GCIT site.
Parents can create an account and add their children's classes to their "My Classes." This account will customize the website and allow parents to see just the classes that they subscribe to and will also send assignment notifications to the email address associated with the account.
Students can create their own account with the added bonus of being able to submit assignments online should their teacher set the assignment up that way. In order to do this, students should print out their verification code that is generated during the registration process and bring it to one of their teachers for verification. This will then allow their account to submit assignments online to teachers that allow it.
Please see the documents below to help you in creating either a student or parent account.
