You may have noticed that the Seesaw App has changed and is now available as one mobile app for iOS or Android devices for students, and family. You no longer need to use two separate Seesaw Class and Seesaw Family apps. This single Seesaw app allows, students and families to switch easily between active users.
Do I have to do anything to get the new app?
New Seesaw users: If you're new to Seesaw, install Seesaw on iOS or Android devices and sign in as a student, or family.
Current Seesaw Class app users: If you already have the Seesaw Class app, no need to get another app! You will be updated to the new Seesaw app automatically.
Seesaw Family app users: if you have an earlier version of the Seesaw Family app (before 8.0.0) you will need to download the new Seesaw app to take advantage of the new experience. Once you using the new app, you can delete the Seesaw Family app.
In the Seesaw app, you can now add different accounts for both students and family members. Once added, it is easy to switch between the different accounts. That means that if you are a parent with two children, you can sign into your family account and both of your student accounts on the same device. Please note, however, that if your children have access to your device, they will also be able to access your family account from the switching menu. You may prefer, for example, to keep your adult/family account on your phone, and use a shared device/tablet for children’s accounts. If you have more than one child’s account on your device, please ensure that they are uploading work and completing activities for their own account, and not that of their siblings!
