Audience: Teachers
Below are steps that teachers can follow to wrap up the school year with Seesaw.
If you're part of a Seesaw school and district subscription
✅ Your Seesaw administrator will take care of everything for you, including:
- Archiving your classes from this year
- Setting up next year’s classes
- All the activities you’ve created this year will remain in your Activity Library.
❌ To avoid any issues, make sure you:
- Don’t delete or archive your class: Your admin will take care of this for you.
- Don’t delete students or student work: Each student’s portfolio will follow them into the next year.
- Don’t turn off family access: Seesaw subscriptions allow families to see their child’s learning from previous years, even if your class is archived.
If you're leaving your school's Seesaw subscription
-
If you would like to continue using your existing account on the Seesaw Starter version, your school administrator will first need to remove your account from the school dashboard. Please contact your school administrator directly to complete this task.
- Note: If your district has rostered with Clever/Classlink, the Clever/Classlink ID needs to be removed from your teacher account as well. Please request that your administrator contacts Seesaw Support to make this change before removing your account from the school dashboard.
-
Once your account has been removed from the school dashboard, you may change your email address to a personal email address.
- Note: School data will remain with the school dashboard and will not be released to Seesaw Starter. For complete information, please see What Happens when a teacher account is removed from a paid subscription.
- If you would like to start using Seesaw Starter with a new account and email address, you may create a new Seesaw account here.
