Google Classroom & Aeries Integration
Overview
You can use Aeries to create your Google Classrooms for you and have Aeries automatically roster your students into those classrooms for you. Aeries will run an update nightly with Google to keep your Google Classroom roster up-to-date. You can also push grade book scores from Google Classroom into Aeries. Any scores that are edited or changed in Aeries will not be synced back into Google Classroom.
To get started, please watch Aeries' official video overview of the subject here:

What if I have existing students already in my Classroom?
All students will remain in your class and will not lose any existing work.
Any new students added to your class will be automatically imported into your Google classroom, no more getting the code out to students and having them join one by one.
If a student is no longer rostered in your class in Aeries, they will not be removed from the Google Classroom automatically, you will have to remove them manually from your Google Classroom. The Google Classroom sync only adds students who are missing and does not remove students.
Creating or linking a classroom
To create or link a Google Classroom for your section, find the class summary section of your Aeries dashboard and click "Add Website" next to the particular section:
From there, you may create a new Google Classroom (if you do not already have one) or link an existing classroom:
Unlinking a classroom
If you no longer wish to have Aeries synchronize with your Google Classroom, you can unlink the two. You may do this if you used Aeries to populate your class roster but don't want it synchronizing grades.
To unlink a classroom, click the edit icon under "Website" in your class summary table and then click "Un-Link":
