Seesaw Family Frequently Asked Questions

Seesaw Getting Started

Seesaw Family App

Your child will add work to Seesaw to share their learning with you. When there are new posts or messages, you'll be notified and can see what's new!

Seesaw is private. You’ll only see posts created by your child. Learn more about Seesaw's commitment to privacy at web.seesaw.me/privacy.

Let's Sign up!

  1. Download 'Seesaw Family' from the App Store or Google Play Store. Don’t have a smartphone? Sign up on a computer at app.seesaw.me.

  2. Tap 'Create Family Account' and scan the QR code on the handout that your child's teacher passed out. Make sure it says your child's name at the top.

  3. Create your account to see your child's journal! Make sure to allow notifications to get real-time updates about new posts.



What are Seesaw Learning Journals?

  • Seesaw is a simple way for teachers and students to record and share what's happening in the classroom.

  • Seesaw gives students a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology.

  • Each student gets their own journal and will add things to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or notes.

How Else Can We Work Together?

  • Check Seesaw regularly—you'll be notified about new journal entries and class announcements.

  • Celebrate your child’s successes and encourage the skills that we are building at school together at home.

  • Keep me updated on how your child is doing and let me know how I can be most helpful.

If you have more than one child using Seesaw, you can subscribe to both journals using the same account.
