SEESAW
St. Mark’s is proud to use Seesaw for all student electronic portfolios this year! Seesaw gives your child creative tools to capture and reflect on their learning - in real time. Then this work is shared with you. Seesaw will give you a window into each of our classrooms and into your student’s learning process. We will use Seesaw to reflect and develop in all curriculum areas, with an emphasis on personal growth and achievements. Our students really enjoy sharing their learning with an authentic audience.
Seesaw replaces our previous electronic portfolios, and we are happy to provide this new opportunity for our students and parents. With your help, we can continue building our school community of lifelong learners.
