We will be using Seesaw to sharing what your child is learning at school. Seesaw gives your child a place to document their learning, be creative and learn how to use technology.
➢ Each child gets their own journal and we will periodically add entries to it. ➢ All student content is safe and secure. Journals are only accessible to you, your child, and me. ➢ Homework will be posted on Seesaw daily.
➢ If you do not have access to Seesaw, scan the QR code below. Then select your child’s name.
Please proceed to Mrs. Oberndorf’s room for math information.
