Seesaw Q & A for Parents

Thanks to a recent parent survey, our parents are loving Seesaw and how it gives them the ability to better understand their child's learning and guiding conversations at home.

Here are some FAQs about Seesaw that parents will find useful. 

How do I download photos in Seesaw?

While we are not able to allow individual downloading of photos and sharing to social media due to privacy concerns, you are able to download a .zip archive of your child's Seesaw journal, including images, videos, audio recordings, and text notes or captions. Please use a computer and a Chrome or Firefox browser only, the .zip file will not download on a mobile or tablet device. Click here for directions.

How do I manage notifications? 

You’re in control of how often you're notified about new information in Seesaw. Here are directions to adjust your notifications in your Seesaw Family account.

How do I invite other family members?

To have other family members be able to view your child's work in Seesaw, you will need the special website url given to you by your child's teacher. This may have come on a paper handout or through an email. It should look something like this: https://app.seesaw.me/s/123-456-789. If you no longer have that information, contact your child's teacher. Up to 10 family members can connect to one child's journal. Your family member will need to create a Family Seesaw account of their own.

Why do some teachers post more than others?

Specialist teachers may not be posting as much as your child's main teacher. They have different requirements due to the number and variety of classes they teach. 

Please contact dlc@seoulforeign.org if you have any questions regarding Seesaw.
