Caution
Although you may be tempted, NEVER, EVER change the Class Settings "student sign in mode."
This setting MUST be left as "email/Google."
You may read about class codes on the Seesaw website, but we do not use them here because Tech Services has automated the class, student account, and enrollment processes.
Getting Started Step-by-Step
During this self-study session, you will:
Sign in to the SPS Portal to access your account

3. New to Seesaw? Need a review? Watch the short Seesaw for Schools overview video below.
NOTE: The narrator will ask you to pause the video and try the various things she has demonstrated. Please pause! If you don't the information will be presented too quickly to remember.

Think About It
The getting started guides and video(s) you just watched gave a lot of information in a very short amount of time.
