Our student Seesaw digital portfolios are now live!! Thank you for your speedy return of forms to get this up and running. 

A parent email will come from Seesaw filling you in about what to expect to set up your family account to be able to access student posts for this school year. 

We already have some posts in there of student work we have done so far with our new school year. Students will start to add their own posts going forward, as they learn this new platform in Grade 1. Remember the student accounts are secured, individual spaces and are NOT public/searchable by anyone else. 

We look forward to sharing our work with our families so that opens up conversations about what is happening in our Grade 1 Busy Bee class! It's like a window right into our classroom and you can get up to date information about student progress!
