Seesaw

Hello, 

I hope everyone is healthy and well!  Since we will be extending our online learning from home because of the mandatory Shelter-in-Place till April 13th, I will be using and posting work for students on Seesaw.  If you have not already downloaded Seesaw I encourage you to do so. 

There are two different Seesaw Apps:

  1. Seesaw Class: This is where your child’s work will be posted and completed.
  2. Seesaw Family: This is where I am able to mass communicate any information that you may need to know without having to email each parent individually. (Like the blog)

*If you are having trouble connecting to your child’s Seesaw account please email me and I’ll send you a QR Code that you can scan.

These are new to me as well as new to most of you so please be patient with me as we work out the kinks.  If you are having an issue or need help getting this up and running, please let me know.  I have a couple of teaching buddies that are helping me but I think I’m finally getting the hang of it.  Setting it up has been the hardest part.
