What Is GAGGLE?

Gaggle is an online learning tool that the ABC Unified School District recently adopted. Once you activate your account, that account stays with you for the ENTIRE time that you’re in the ABC Unified School District. In other words, your Gaggle account follows you to high school as long as you remain in this district!
