Seesaw

• The DoDEA contract allows only K-5 educators and K-5 students access to Seesaw

• Regular classroom teachers with rostered students are added automatically through daily integrations between Aspen and Seesaw

• K-5 Teachers who do not have students rostered in a class (e.g. ESOL, SPED, speech-language pathologists, paraprofessionals) are not added automatically due to technical limitations thus must be added manually.

• ETs do not manually add any K-5 regular classroom teachers or students.

• If students are missing, troubleshoot the issue through Aspen to make sure that the student is added automatically as part of the daily integration (sync) between Aspen and Seesaw.

• ET is not allowed do anything related to "manage roster sync"

• ET cannot "approve" any requests from regular classroom teachers or any students

  • You might see notifications in the top right of the Admin Portal where it says,  for example, "5  Teachers Have Not Been Added to Your Subscription,"

  • NEVER approve regular classroom teachers as it could cause data issues.

    • Classroom teachers and student accounts are “rostered” automatically through sync with ASPEN

• ET Can Approve or manually add teachers who do not have rostered classes

  • For Example, ESOL, SPED, speech-language pathologists, and paraprofessionals

• REMIND TEACHERS of multiple age students that Seesaw is only for K-5 students

  • If, for example, a SPED teacher is manually added who also serves students outside of K-5, the teacher CANNOT USE Seesaw with those non-K-5 students

• DO NOT use Seesaw with PreK, SS, 6-12 grade students

  • Non-K-5 student use is a violation of our contract and exceeds the number of allotted users.
