Audience: School and District Admins with School and District subscriptions
Adding teachers to your school dashboard is a required step to setting up your school in Seesaw. Check out our Technical Guide for Administrators or follow the steps below to add existing teachers to your school dashboard.
Some of your teachers may have indicated that they work at your school when they created their free Teacher accounts. Seesaw will automatically match them with your school, then you will need to approve their connection to your school. Once they are approved, our system will add their accounts to your Seesaw dashboard.
If you need their classes and students transferred to your dashboard, please contact Seesaw Support. If Seesaw Support transfers over classes from Seesaw Starter to a Seesaw subscription, you will need to add a unique student ID for each student who was using the free version of Seesaw after the transfer. You can add student IDs in bulk with the steps in this article.
- Sign in to your Seesaw Admin Account.
- On the Overview Tab, you may see a notification that teachers want to join your school.
- Tap the View and Approve button.
- Accept teachers who are part of your school by tapping View and Approve
If you did not purchase for all teachers in your district, you may not want to add some teachers on this list. Tap the hide icon to remove their names from the list. This will hide the request and the teacher will not be added to your school.
