WHAT IS SEESAW?
For students, Seesaw helps them see their own growth and provides an audience for their work - whether that be peers, parents, or the world at large.

For families, Seesaw gives an immediate, personalized window into their child’s day so they can support learning at home.

For teachers, Seesaw saves time on organization and communication, makes formative assessment easy, and provides a safe place to teach digital citizenship skills.
