Google Workspace and Google Classroom
The Whitesboro Central School District utilizes Google Workspace as part of a continued effort to provide its students with opportunities to creatively learn, engage and collaborate.
This secure, cloud-based platform is used by numerous K-12 schools and universities throughout
the country. It enables students and staff to communicate, create documents and collaborate with one another through the use of email, Google Classroom, and a host of other tools.
Google Classroom provides an integrated and blended learning platform for each individual class.

Students and teachers can use Google Workspace from any internet-enabled device in and out of school, making “any time, any place” learning a reality.
