Seesaw for Parents

• Login details will be provided ONLY to those who have completed the parental consent form.
• You can download the Seesaw class app from your device’s app store or you can access the online class using your web browser. To gain access via a web browser (e.g. Google Chrome), visit https://web.seesaw.me/
• You will receive a step by step setup guide along with your child’s login details which will help you with the initial setup.

Using Seesaw

• Guidance on schoolwork will be posted weekly by the teachers.
• As your child’s class starts using Seesaw, the work stemming from this will be limited to allow everyone some time to learn how to use Seesaw.
• DON’T worry if it all goes wrong, won’t load, or you don’t know how to do something. There will be no pressure from school to complete anything – do what you can.
• Feel free to try things and explore using the app.
• Parents/family members should continue to support their child with the completion of work and mark it if required.
• Some Seesaw tasks will give the option to upload evidence of your child’s work. This is entirely optional. Many tasks will be offline activities that can be completed in a physical workbook.
