Seesaw - Sign in Instructions for Foundations K-9 Parents

At HCOS, we have set up Seesaw this year to make it easier for families to share learning. Each family will receive a 'Class Sign In Code' unique to their family so they can access Seesaw as a ‘student’ in their teacher’s virtual Seesaw classroom.

With this code, parents will see all of their children in one class and can easily add work samples for any child in their family. 

The Classroom Sign in Code document your teacher sends you will provide step-by-step instructions. Your teacher will send these instructions as a screenshot or PDF file.
