How to add students to your class

Adding Students  

Teachers with Seesaw subscriptions can add students who are already in their School Directory to their classes.

To access the School Directory, tap the wrench icon and go to Manage Students.

  • Tap the Add Students button
  • You will now be able to search for students in your school by name, email address, or student ID and add them to your class!

Creating Students

If you are trying to add a student but do not find them in the school directory, you can create a student.

  1.  Tap Create a New Student at the bottom of the pop-up box.
  2. Please note that if there are students who come up in your search but do not match the student you are looking for, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the list to find the Create a New Student button.
  3. Once you tap Create a New Student, you will be prompted to create a new student.
    1. Enter student first name.
    2. Enter student last name.
    3. Enter Student ID. If your school does not use Student IDs, enter something that makes sense to you, such as the student first name/last name.
    4. Enter the student sign in method.
    5. Tap Create New Student

Grades 4+ (Email/Google Classroom/SSO Account Sign In)

If you choose to import a class from Google classroom when creating your Seesaw class, your students will have already been added into Seesaw and can use their Google accounts to log in to Seesaw.

If you add more students to your Google Classroom, you can always re-sync Google Classroom. Tap the wrench icon, then tap ‘import from Google Classroom’.

If your students are using email/Google accounts to sign in to Seesaw (this was automatically selected for your if your class is Grades 4+), you do NOT need to add students to your class list. Students can join your class themselves the first time they use Seesaw.
