How to add a trusted domain to your school

3.png Audience: School Admins

Seesaw only allows users with trusted domains to be added to the dashboard. Generic domains such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, or hotmail.com cannot be used. School administrators can manage domains at their school. District Administrators can manage trusted domains at all schools within their district. This article explains how to manage school domains.

Note: At least 1 trusted domain is required at all times. 

If a user has created their account using a personal email address:

  1. Ask them to change the email address in their Account Settings to a school email address.
  2. Move them into your school.

If you have multiple domains that are valid for your school, you can add an additional trusted domain to your school by following the below steps. 

  1. Log into Seesaw as an Admin.
  2. Tap on the gear icon in the top right corner.
