Seesaw supports a unified student journal across grade levels and school years. Moving students from class to class (or year to year) is only possible with our paid school-wide service. Teachers and Admin have access to previous year's journals using the Historical Data Access Tool.
In the free version of Seesaw, it's not possible to keep journals connected to student accounts when you move a student to a new class.
For teachers using the free version of Seesaw, we recommend that the new teacher start fresh by adding students as new students in the new class or new year.
