Audience: School and District Admins
Rolling out Seesaw is easiest when your school is prepared before teachers and students begin using it. Use this checklist to configure your school, prepare teachers, and ensure everyone is ready for a successful launch.
Before introducing Seesaw to teachers, make sure you've completed the Administrator steps for school setup.
