Foundations teachers will share home learning codes for "Family Classes," and if your child participates in CC or CC+, they will be able to see their CC or CC+ class using the same login code. *\*Note: CC classes will be set up in September, once classes begin.*Families will be set up as a class, and parents will still be able to view all the children in their family and tag any or all of them when they share family learning samples. Families will be able to see their child's CC class portfolio from the same login, but will not be able to view other students’ work.
Your support teacher will email you a link to a PDF with step-by-step instructions. You can also follow the written instructions below for more detailed instructions. ##### Logging Into Your Child's Portfolio:| **Step 1:** You can connect and log in to your child's portfolio in the following ways: - On a desktop, laptop or Chromebook, via the free Seesaw App at [app.seesaw.me](http://app.seesaw.me) and clicking on “Log in” on the top right. - On your mobile device via the **Seesaw app**. | |
