At the end of May, Seesaw is releasing a significant update to their platform at the end of this month. If you are using the Seesaw app on a device (e.g. phone or tablet), please ensure you have updated to Version 7.3 before the beginning of June. If you are accessing the Seesaw platform through a browser (e.g. Chrome), the update will happen automatically.

Students of all ability levels are still welcome to Zoom in during their specified time. Only those who didn’t sign up for the first week need to visit the SignUp Genius to sign up their child. I will send an email again through the SignUp to let you know what materials the children will need this week.
