There are two accepted forms for possessive singular nouns that end with an s:
Add an apostrophe (') after the existing s at the end of the word:
Examples:
My class' trip to the museum is scheduled for Friday.
My class's trip to the museum is scheduled for Friday.
Class is singular (even though it ends in an -s). One class, in the possessive, is class's. "The class's group project is due next Monday." But if it's more than one class, you have classes. And classes' is the plural possessive form.
The form "Jacks" is the plural form of the proper noun "Jack".The possessive form of the singular noun "Jack" is Jack's.Examples:There are two Jacks in my class. (plural)Jack's decision pleased his parents. (possessive)
Example singular possessive nouns:the cover of the book = the book's coverthe teacher of our class = our class's teacherthe coat of the child = the child's coatthe shoes of the man = the man's shoesthe house of the neighbor = my neighbor's housethe flag of France = France's flag

The possessive singular of all English nouns, regardless of spelling, is formed by the addition of of 's to the end of the word.EXAMPLESAlice: I met Alice's mother at the meeting.book: The book's cover was torn so it was half price.class: The class's assignment is due on Friday.
The name "Diaz" with the letter "s" at the end is a possessive form indicating ownership or association with someone named Diaz. On the other hand, "Diaz" without the "s" is simply a singular noun referring to the individual or family with that surname. The choice between the two would depend on the context in which the name is being used.
The possessive singular of all English nous, regardless of spelling, is formed by adding 's: student's or class's or ox's.

Class's = the possessive form of the singular noun class.Classes' = the possessive form of the plural noun classes.Examples:The class's pet frog was called Robert. (one class had a pet frog called Robert)All of the classes' students were at the assembly. (the students from all classes were at the assembly)
The possessive singular ending of all English nouns is's, regardless of spelling. Singular nouns that end in s take 's in the possessive, for example class: class's and James: James's. Words that end in an s sound gain a syllable in the possessive singular, and for some exalted names this has an awkward sound. For them we use the prepositional construction with of. For example we say the Law of Moses rather than Moses's Law, or the Teaching of Jesus instead of Jesus's Teaching.The possessive plural ending of all English nouns that take s in the plural is the apostrophe ' alone. For example The two cities' leaders agreed on a compromise. This is only for the plurals ending in s. It is incorrect to use the apostrophe alone for the possessive of any singular word ending in s.The possessive plural ending of all English nouns that do not take s in the plural is 's. For example the children's hour or Women's Lib
Example singular possessive nouns:the cover of the book = the book's coverthe teacher of our class = our class's teacherthe coat of the child = the child's coatthe shoes of the man = the man's shoesthe house of the neighbor = my neighbor's housethe flag of France = France's flag
The possessive form of the proper noun Alvarez is Alvarez's.Example: I've been assigned to Mr. Alvarez's class.
