Administrators on Seesaw for Schools accounts can set up your school's classes, teacher and student accounts in bulk! You can create your school's classes by creating a CSV Roster Importfor individual schools, by using Clever, or ClassLinkwith your district.

Create Classes with CSV Roster Import

If you are creating your classes via CSV Roster Import, you will use our Roster Template to build a spreadsheet of data, import it to your school, and bulk create your classes. It's much easier and faster than creating accounts one by one. View the step by step instructions or watch therecording below.

Create Classes with Clever Sync

ClassLink Rostering Success Plan here!

If you're already using Clever at your school, you can use Clever to sync with Seesaw for Schools to create your classes, teacher and student accounts in bulk. Please view the Clever Set Up Guide here, or view the video below (coming soon).

Create Classes with ClassLink

If you're already using ClassLink at your school, you can use ClassLink to sync with Seesaw for Schools to create your classes, teacher and student accounts in bulk. Please view the

Clever is a great way for large schools and districts to create new classes in Seesaw using the student data you have already entered into your SIS. Syncing Seesaw and Clever allows you to set up multiple schools in your district at the same time, and automatically update rosters when students move classes or join your school.

To start the sync process, check out our Clever Rostering Guide !

Please allow two weeks to get the Clever sync to be set up and running.

Teachers can now be connected to any number of school dashboards within your district! You have a few options depending on how you roster your classes.

Option 1: Add Existing Teacher Button

You can add teachers to multiple schools from within the Admin Dashboard, regardless of your rostering method. This is often the quickest way to add teachers to an additional school dashboard.

Sign in at https://app.seesaw.me

Click on the Teacher tab

Click the Add Existing Teachers Button

Enter the email address of the teacher(s) you would like to add to this dashboard

Follow the prompts to add them to this dashboard.

Option 2: CSV Roster Import

Using the CSV Roster Import tool, you can create classes, and connect teachers to a new dashboard in one import.

Sign in at https://app.seesaw.me

Click on the Classes tab

Click on Import Class Rosters

Click Select CSV from computer

Follow the prompts to import the CSV Roster

Option 3: Clever & ClassLink Rostering

For Clever & ClassLink rostering districts, teachers that work at multiple schools will automatically be connected to their additional schools and classes during the Clever sync.

If the teachers you are adding are already connected to a school within your district, only their teacher account will be connected to the new school. All of the teacher's classes, and students enrolled in the classes, will remain in the original school dashboard.

If you're adding a teacher who has never been connected to a Seesaw for Schools dashboard, all of their classes and students will be connected to this dashboard. Please contact Seesaw Helpto help you move classes and student accounts from one school to another within your district.

We know that rolling out a new program can lead to lots of questions! Below are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions about rostering Seesaw with ClassLink!

We used Clever last year, can we use ClassLink this year?

Yes! You can use ClassLink this year, even if you have used Clever to create classes in the past. You will need to contact us in order to remove the Clever_ID from your student accounts (this ID is not visible to Admin).

When ClassLink and Seesaw sync for the first time, ClassLink will search for existing students to update their accounts and enroll them in their new classes. In order for ClassLink to find existing students in Seesaw, the Student ID field in Seesawmustmatch the SourcedIDfield in ClassLink. Seesawcan notmatch on Student Number or State ID fields.

Optionally, if your students have email addresses connected to their accounts in Seesaw, that will serve as a unique identifier for ClassLink. The sync will be able to locate those existing accounts and update their accounts.

Can my students use Classlink SSO to sign into Seesaw?

Yes! Students can log in to ClassLink and select the Seesaw app. Selecting Seesaw will open the mobile app on mobile devices (such as iPads and tablets), and web-based Seesaw for students using laptops, computers, and Chromebooks!

What happens when we sync ClassLink and Seesaw?

If it is your first year rostering your classes in Seesaw through ClassLink, your teachers will not be emailed by Seesaw until we activate your district. District activation occurs after the sync and you have confirmed that your new classes look accurate.

After activation, your teachers will receive an email letting them know their new classes are available. For any teachers who are brand new to Seesaw, they will also be prompted to add a password to their account.

If you are a returning district that has rostered via ClassLink before, your district is already activated. Your teachers will receive an email letting them know how to access their classes immediately after the sync has finished processing.

What classes should we share in ClassLink?

We suggest sharing only your Homeroom/Advisory classes with Seesaw! Most students (especially younger students) don't use Seesaw with multiple classes. If all of the classes in your SIS are shared, then each student could end up having a large number of classes. This can confuse students and teachers and cause issues with students submitting work to the wrong class.

Please contact your ClassLink rep for information on creating custom classes or updating sharing rules to filter out excess classes!

How do I keep new classes private using ClassLink?

Once you have synced your data from ClassLink to Seesaw, all teachers and students would be able to see their classes if they were to login.If you do not want students and teachers to see their classes, please do not share your current school year's data with Seesaw until that date.

As an admin, you can specify a range of IP addresses from your school network in the Seesaw for Schools dashboard. When trusted IP address ranges are specified for a school, students using Seesaw outside of your school network will not be able to see OTHER students' work. This comes in handy if you have students logging in from home and would like to prevent family members from being able to see other students in the class! Click here for more information about Trusted IP addresses.

Why do my students have two accounts after ClassLink Sync?

When you add teachers to your Seesaw for Schools dashboard, all of their classes, students, and posts will be connected to your dashboard as well. These students will not be recognized by ClassLink until a Student ID or an email address is added to their account. If you would like your student's data from their previous class to stay connected to their account, you will need to add a Student ID or an email address to their account so they are recognized by ClassLink!

When the ClassLink sync is initiated, it will search for existing students in Seesaw. When ClassLink finds a Student ID or email address is recognizes, it will update the existing account and enroll that student into their new classes. If ClassLink can not find a Student ID or email address in Seesaw, it will create an account for that student and enroll them in their classes.

The Student ID in Seesaw must match the SourcedIDfield in ClassLink. We can not match off of the Student Number, username or State ID that is in ClassLink.

If you did not add a Student ID or email address to your students prior to the ClassLink sync, your students will have two accounts in Seesaw. You can either merge the accounts together, to keep their data from previous years connected to their account. Or, *you can archive old accounts and start fresh with the ClassLink syncing accounts. (*recommended)

To merge accounts, please see the below instructions.

Sign in to your Seesaw for Schools Admin account at https://app.seesaw.me.

Tap 'Assign Missing Student IDs' in the Admin Tools section.

Get an export of SourcedIDsfrom ClassLink.

Enter in the missing Student IDs using data from ClassLink.

You can filter this list of students by class using the filter by class menu (top right) if that is simpler.

Tap 'ID in use by StudentName. Click here to merge.'.

Follow the steps to merge the student into one account. Make sure this information is correct. This cannot be undone.

Here’s how!

What happens if our teachers have created their own class rather than waiting for the ClassLink sync?

We do not have a way to combine classes, or easily move data from one class to another. Teachers will have to manually move items from one class to another 1-by-1 or start fresh in the ClassLink created class. We do not recommend teachers create their own classes if you are using ClassLink to roster your classes!

How often does ClassLink sync with Seesaw?

You can set up RosterServer to sync nightly at a time that you choose. Any changes that you make to your sharing data will be updated in Seesaw within 24 hours.

You can find more about setting a sync schedule in RosterServer here!

Can family members see their child's classes?

By default, Family Access is turned off for new classes. However, if you have Family Access enabled for your school or district, the new classes will be visible to connected family members in their app. If you do not want family members accessing their student’s new class information, you can disable Family Access in bulk from the Admin Dashboard.

Note: It is possible for family members to sign in to ClassLink Portal as a student and view their child's class.

Can students access their classes?

After the sync has finished processing, students can sign in via the ClassLink Portal and access Seesaw. If you do not want students to see their classes, please do not share your current school year's data with Seesaw until that date!

Can we hide classes from teachers until the first day of school?

Unfortunately, once the sync has been initiated between ClassLink and Seesaw, we do not have a way to hide classes from teachers. If you do not want teachers to see their class lists until a certain date, please do not share your current school year's data with Seesaw until that date.

Below you will find answers to our most frequently asked CSV questions!

We used CSV rosters last year. Can we use Clever or ClassLink this year?

Yes! You can use Clever or ClassLink this year, even if you have used CSV Rosters to create classes in the past.

When Clever and Seesaw sync for the first time, Clever will search for existing students to update their accounts and enroll them in their new classes. In order for Clever to find existing students in Seesaw, the Student ID field in Seesawmustmatch the SIS ID field in Clever. Seesawcan notmatch on Student Number or State ID fields.

The process is the same for ClassLink. However, in order for ClassLink to find existing students in Seesaw, the Student ID field in Seesawmustmatch theSourcedIDfield in ClassLink. Seesawcan notmatch on Student Number or State ID fields.

Optionally, if your students have email addresses connected to their accounts in Seesaw, that will serve as a unique identifier for Clever and ClassLink. The sync will be able to locate those existing accounts and update their accounts.

You can find our Rostering Guides below:

Clever Rostering Success Plan

ClassLink Rostering Success Plan

Can students be enrolled in multiple classes?

Yes! Students can be enrolled in multiple classes. The student ID is how we link students across classes in your dashboard. You can roster a student in multiple classes in your CSV template. The student will be rostered in all classes when the CSV is uploaded. You can find more information about uploading your CSV roster template here!

Can I upload multiple CSVs?

No. At this time, it's not possible to upload multiple CSVs without duplicating classes. Please make sure you have a finalized CSV roster before uploading to your dashboard(s)!

How do I add new students to existing classes?

At this time, it is not possible to add a new student to an existing class with a CSV Roster Import. Uploading a new CSV, even with matching names in the Class Name column, will create a brand new class with the new student enrolled in it.

We have two options for adding new students to existing classes in Seesaw.

Option 1: Create Individual Students

You can create a brand new student's journal from your Admin Dashboard. This option is recommended if you are only adding a handful of students to your school account.

Sign in to your Seesaw for Schools dashboard at https://app.seesaw.me.

Click on the Student tab.

Click on the Create Student button.

Follow the prompts to add their information, create their account and add them to the correct classes.

Option 2: Fake Class CSV Roster Import

If you are uploading a larger number of students to your school, and they all need to be enrolled in active classes, I recommend this method. You can create their accounts in bulk, which will be faster than creating them individually, and then add them to their classes.

Make a copy of this Google Sheet

Fill out the CSV with your Teacher and Student's information. You can put yourself as the teacher for this upload. I recommend naming the class "Temporary Class"

Upload the CSV to Seesaw

Click on the Classes tab and locate Temporary Class

Click on Manage Class

Click on Manage Students

You can then click into Add to Class on each of the student's accounts and enroll them in the classes they are meant to be in.

After you enroll the new students in their active classes, you will Archive the Temporary Class by scrolling down to the bottom of the Manage Class page and selecting Archive Class.

Why have my classes been duplicated?

There are a couple of ways this could happen.

Teachers using Free Seesaw were added to your dashboard and you have already CSV rostered your classes (essentially each teacher could have multiple classes)

You have uploaded multiple CSVs to Seesaw

You can archive these classes in order to clean up your dashboard data! Tap on "Class Settings" from the Classes tab > scroll down and select "Archive Class".

If you have a large number of classes to archive, you can bulk archive by date! On the "Overview" tab > select "Archive Old Classes" > Select the date > all classes created before that date will be automatically archived.

Please note that with Seesaw for Schools, Family members will be able to see all archived classes as well as active classes. To clean up their view, you can turn off Family Access in the classes that you archive.

Select "Class Settings" on the class you'd like to edit > scroll down and toggle OFF "Enable family access". The class will then be hidden from family members.

Seesaw takes protecting your security and privacy seriously and we've put a number of measures in place to protect the integrity of your information.

We have a robust set of Privacy Principles designed to clearly communicate our privacy promises to our teachers, families and students.

Seesaw uses TLS 1.2 security at the network level to ensure all account information and journal content is transmitted securely.

Journal Content (e.g., the photos, video, audio, and other content you add to your Seesaw journal) is encrypted at rest.

All passwords are salted and hashed using PBKDF2.

Seesaw routinely conducts 3rd party security audits to verify the security and integrity of our systems and internal controls.

Data is stored in access-controlled data centers operated by industry leading partners with years of experience in large-scale data centers with 24/7 monitoring.

All user information is stored redundantly and backed up in geographically distributed data centers. We utilize multiple distributed servers to ensure high levels of uptime and to ensure that we can restore availability and access to personal data in a timely manner.

We have adopted an internal data access policy that restricts access to personally identifiable information to a limited number of employees with a specific business need (such as for technical support).

All employees undergo a background check before beginning employment at Seesaw, sign a nondisclosure agreement, and immediately lose access to all internal systems and data when terminated. No customer information is stored on individual employee computers.

We routinely monitor our systems for security breaches and attempts at inappropriate access.

We use encrypted QR codes for family and student access to journal content.

Seesaw has taken the Student Privacy Pledge.

Seesaw complies with the EU - U.S. Privacy Shield Framework as set forth by the US Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use and retention of personal information from European Union member countries. Seesaw has certified that it adheres to the Privacy Shield Privacy Principles of notice, choice, accountability for onward transfer, security, data integrity, access, and enforcement and liability.

How do I unblock Seesaw?

Most schools can get going with Seesaw immediately, but if you have network filters or spamfilters in place make sure you do the following:

Whitelist *.seesaw.me. In other words, whitelist all domains that end with seesaw.me.

Whitelist localhost

Make sure port 443 (SSL) is open. If you can log in as a teacher and add a new post, this is working.

Turn off scanning for traffic to *.seesaw.me.For security, Seesaw exclusively uses SSL / HTTPS. Some network filters that "inspect" traffic don't like secure connections, so you may have to turn off scanning for traffic to *.seesaw.me.

Add *@seesaw.me and IP addresses 166.78.71.202, 184.173.153.78 to your email whitelist so you can receive notification emails from Seesaw.

If you don't have network filters in place or have already whitelisted *.seesaw.me, please perform the network test below to verify where the issue might be.

How do I test network issues?

School wi-fi vs. home wi-fi: Try signing in and adding a post on your home wi-fi network instead. If your home network works but your school network doesn't, your school network is probably blocking Seesaw. Follow the instructionsabove to fix that.

Cell network vs school wi-fi: Turnoff wi-fi on the device and using 3G cellular network instead. Try signing in and adding a post.If your cell network works but your school network doesn't, your school network is probably blocking Seesaw. Follow the instructionsabove to fix that.

Mobile device vs computer:Try signing into your Seesaw account on the web. If your computer works, but not the mobile device, can you confirm thatboth are on the same school network? Do both devices have the same security settings? You might want to consult your tech team.

If you don't have network filters in place and you have already whitelisted *.seesaw.me, please send a networkdiagnosticreport to Seesaw using the steps below.

How do I send a network diagnostic report?

Log out of Seesaw.

On the app sign in screen, press down on the word "Seesaw" (in the script font) for 5 seconds. This will pop up a network diagnostic tool.

Tap "Network Diagnostics" and then email the report to [email protected].
