Connecting families to Seesaw
Connecting families to Seesaw
This is vitally important because families can connect to Seesaw through their cell phones, receive messages and respond to teachers all in the same place. Within Seesaw classes, teachers can turn on the family connection. After family connection is turned on, teachers can print Seesaw invitations out for each child. You can translate this letter automatically with Seesaw from your laptop when you print the parent invitations. Watch the three videos below for additional help. If you need additional help please reach out to your technology ambassador or the instructional technology department.
