Helpful Resources for Families
Hear What Parents & Advocates Have to Say!
“I enjoy watching my children’s progression on Seesaw so much. The teachers utilize for independent work and I get to see how great of a reader they are becoming. It is so neat to see their personality shine with the security of the Seesaw platform. I also enjoy how the teachers are able to capture special moments during the day.”
“The bond that Seesaw creates between the school and the families is so valuable. It’s building those relationships, it’s opening lines of communication between parents, students, and teachers. The conversations are richer and more meaningful too because we’re pointing the dialog towards a specific learning moment for a specific child.”
“Seesaw allows my child to connect with schooling, his teachers, and submitting homework. I like Seesaw for its application and phone compatibility. I find it very important to stay in touch with my child’s teacher and Seesaw allows us to have instant messaging without email or using telephone numbers.”
“Seesaw provides an instant connection between me & my child while they are at school. I can see exactly what they are working on and ask them about it when they come home. They are able to share photos, videos & actually work they are doing throughout the day.”
The Impact Seesaw is Having on Families
“Seesaw has been an essential tool in helping my families connect with our classroom. Many of my students come from families where the parents may not live in the same house or where family members live overseas. Being able to connect those families to our classroom via Seesaw ensures they get updated information about their students and can be a part of celebrating their student’s learning successes!”
– Gina Butzow, Fourth Grade Teacher, Illinois
“The digital portfolios allow my students and their families to engage with the work they are doing in the classroom in real time. When I approve a child’s work, I know that I am sharing a little bit of our world with the moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, and host of other family members who don’t get to witness the growth and learning I see each day.”
– Robbie Parsons, Gifted Programming Specialist K-5, Tennessee
“Seesaw’s digital portfolios have touched the lives of split or unconventional student families. It has allowed parents and guardians to actively engage in their child’s education, regardless of physical distance. Through the platform, families can share photos, videos, and written assignments, fostering a sense of connection and involvement. Seesaw has become more than just a tool; it is a source of support and inclusivity for these families.”
– Melissa Sheffer, Fifth Grade Teacher, Pennsylvania
“When one of our parents saw that Seesaw messages were translated to their native language on their phone, it brought tears to their eyes. It was the first time they felt such a strong connection to their child’s classroom.”
– Sheila Teri, Instructional Technology Coordinator, Virginia
Impacting School Communities
Seesaw connects students, teachers, families, and administrators to build a strong school culture and community. Fostering a collaborative partnership in the educational journey and engaging students in these crucial development years can yield positive and enduring effects academically, socially, and emotionally to instill a lifelong love learning.
