Seesaw for Families

Written by Bryan Drozd

Seesaw is an online tool that we use primarily in early childhood and elementary grades.  It is a space for teachers to share assignments with students which also allows parents to participate in seeing what students are doing. It is also a helpful tool for communication. Parents should expect to see Seesaw Messages come through to the Seesaw app. 

The Seesaw Help page for Families has useful articles and resources for using the product.  We have created some additional materials here that we hope are helpful.
