GUITAR+CLASS

==We will be using Google docs and Google classroom this year. All students have a DPS Google account, and will need to use that account for creating, sharing, and submitting assignments. This website will also be used to post resources.==

If you have trouble opening a form or document, check that you are logged into your Google account, and then go to the form
