Seesaw is a new way we’re sharing what your child is learning at school. Seesaw gives your child a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology.

➢ Each child gets their own journal and we will periodically add entries to it, like photos, videos, drawings, or notes. ➢ When there are updates, you can be notified. ➢ All student content is safe and secure. Journals are only accessible to you, your child, and me.

Please proceed to your child’s math room for math information.
