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 account, active classes (used in the last 6 months), and student accounts to your Seesaw dashboard.
If the teacher had Seesaw Starter classes transferred to your school dashboard, 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.
Some teachers may not have indicated that they work at your school when they created their Seesaw accounts.
- Tap the Teachers tab.
- Tap the Add Existing Teacher Accounts button.
- Copy and paste your staff email list, one email address per line, into the text area.
- Tap the Add to Subscription button to add teachers to your school.
Our system will transfer their teacher account, active classes (used in the last 6 months), and student accounts to your Seesaw dashboard. If the teacher had Seesaw Starter classes transferred to your school dashboard, you will need to add a unique student ID for each student who was using the free version of Seesaw after the transfer.

Note: If a teacher created their account using a personal email address, please have them edit the email address on their account to use their school email.
