If you do not have an Internet connection, Seesaw will alert you with a red 'offline' message bar.  

Unfortunately, Clever Badge login isn't supported on the Android mobile app or tablet devices at this time. 

Android or Chromebook users should use the Login with Active Directory instructions to login to Seesaw.

Please use the Active Directory instructions for iOS, Android, or web if you do not have a Clever Badge.

Pearland ISD uses Clever Badges to login, not QR Codes.

Clever Badges look identical to a QR code, but only work on the Clever websites.

With this adoption, students in Pearland ISD do not use Home Learning Codes, and instead, login using their Pearland ISD network credentials (Guidelines).

The Family App gives family members a view of what their child is working on in the classroom.

Family members can

• comment on student work
• view announcements
• message their child's teacher

Family accounts cannot respond to activities or post directly to a student journal.

Students can only complete assignments and post work from the Class App (iOS / Android) or using Seesaw on the web.

If a connected parent or family member wants to receive SMS notifications about updates in their child's journal, here's how to turn ON SMS notifications*. 

1. Sign in to your Seesaw parent account at https://app.seesaw.me or in the Seesaw Family app
2. Click on your profile icon
3. Click on Gear icon 
4. Click on Account Settings
5. In the Phone field, add your phone number, area code first without spaces. Ex: 1238675309
6. Toggle SMS notifications to ON

Family members can access their child’s work through the Seesaw app or website as long as their child’s class is active.

Because Pearland ISD students have Seesaw for Schools accounts, families will continue to have access to their child's content after a class is archived.

Students will no longer see archived content in the Class App or web, but families can access this content in the Seesaw Family app or web.
