Seesaw - Online Communication Platform
Seesaw for parents is a digital platform that connects families to their child's school learning, allowing parents to view photos, videos, and work in a secure online journal, communicate with teachers, and support learning at home, often using a unique school-provided invite code or QR code to link to their child's specific account. It's a secure way to see classroom activities and provide feedback, keeping parents involved in their child's educational journey beyond school hours, with features like built-in translation for messages.
According to our records less than half our school parents have downloaded the app. This is disappointing for many reasons, but mainly any parent/carer who has not signed in is losing out seeing what their child is taking part in class and on crucial information being shared by the school.
We are no longer using Facebook to share information with parents.
If you are having difficulties in signing up for the SEESAW App, please do not hesitate to contact me and I will do my utmost to assist you.
We need 100% of our school parents/carers to be signed in as soon as possible.
