SARATOGA SPRINGS — Parents and guardians with children in the Saratoga Springs City School District are invited to participate in upcoming virtual training sessions on the Seesaw or Canvas Learning Systems. Seesaw is used in grades K-5 and Canvas is used in grades 6-12.
The next Seesaw training will be on Tuesday, Oct. 5 from 6 to 7 p.m. The virtual 1-hour training will assist grade K-5 families with the Seesaw digital platform that is utilized in all the Elementary school buildings. The training will focus on downloading the Seesaw family app from a device at home to view your child’s posts, access teacher announcements, and send private messages to your child’s teachers. Additional time will be given to review how to assist your child with accessing their Seesaw classroom from their Clever page at home.
The next Canvas training will be on Monday, Oct. 4 from 6 to 7 p.m. The virtual 1-hour training will walk grade 6-12 parents and guardians through how Canvas is being used in classrooms to support instruction. Features of Canvas that will be reviewed are course navigation buttons, home pages, announcements, modules, assignments, and the Canvas calendar. The training will also walk through how guardians can become observers of their student’s Canvas course.
Recordings will be made available after the events for those who cannot attend. For more information and to access the trainings through WebEx visit: www.saratogaschools.org/news.cfm?story=107613&
