Seesaw is a platform for student engagement that inspires students of all ages to do their best, and saves teachers time! Students use creative tools to take pictures, draw, record videos and more to capture learning in a portfolio. Teachers find or create activities to share with students.

Seesaw is a digital student portfolio that gives students an audience for their work! It gives families a window into what's going on every day in their child's classroom.

Students add posts to their journals. Student posts showcase the creative projects they've been working on in the classroom. This could include photos, artwork, videos, activities, notes, projects they've created in other apps, and more.

Families get notified when there are new posts in their student's journal. They can view posts and add likes and comments.

Seesaw requires an invite from your child's teacher in order to sign up. If you do not have an invite QR code or link, contact your child's teacher. Up to 10 family members can connect to one child's journal.

The Family App gives family members a view of what their child is working on in the classroom. Family members can comment on student work, view announcements, and message their child's teacher. Family accounts cannot respond to Activities or post directly to a student journal.

In order to complete Activities and post student work at home, students need to log in to the Class App. Students can also login at app.seesaw.me by selecting 'I'm a Student'. Students can only complete assignments and post work from the Class App.

Family members can access their child’s work through the Seesaw app or website as long as their child’s class is active.

After a class has been archived by a teacher using free Seesaw or Seesaw Plus (usually at the end of the school year), family members will have 60 days to download a .zip archive of their child’s journal, including images, videos, voice recordings, captions for free. When a class is archived, we will automatically notify family members with instructions on how to download the .zip archive. After a class has been archived for 60 days, family members will no longer have access to the class.

Please note, for Seesaw for Schools accounts, families will continue to have access to their child's content after a class is archived and will not receive an email notification with instructions on how to download the .zip archive. 

If you’d like to be able to continue to access your child’s content in Seesaw, ask your school to upgrade to Seesaw for Schools.
