Skills are transitioning to Sitewide Standards
In June 2024, all premium school and district customers were transitioned to Sitewide Standards. Teachers can download and export existing Skills before December 2024. Seesaw Plus (legacy) customers can continue using Skills and download data until December 2024. 💡 Learn more about Sitewide Standards!
Teachers can use Skills to see student progress towards goals in real time. Teachers can edit Skills, archive Skills, and export Skills.
