Seesaw Messages

Shakopee Early Learning and Elementary Families,

Our district has received several reports of inappropriate postings to the message portion of Seesaw - a  communication platform that is used at our preschool and elementary schools. The issue is system-wide, effecting not just our district but others in Minnesota and outside of the State.  These posts are not associated with our school community.

Seesaw has turned off messaging while they investigate - further details are here: https://status.seesaw.me/incidents/jvgrx4g06qpwAs a district, we have taken additional steps to turn off features that may be impacted until further notice. Teachers and buildings will continue to communicate any school day updates in Infinite Campus, if necessary.

The circulation of inappropriate content and images in our school community is taken seriously and we understand concerns from parents/guardians that may have viewed such content prior to deletion. We will continue to ensure the integrity of your child's communication tools as best we can, and are available for any additional questions.

Face Masks

Face masks in district buildings and on school transportation, for all persons, is recommended for those fully vaccinated and strongly recommended for those not fully vaccinated. 

Optional At-Home COVID-19 Tests

BinaxNOW at-home test kits are now available to all district families (PreK-12) who wish to have a kit on hand to test their child when COVID-like symptoms are present. The test kits are provided at no cost to the district and at no cost to families/students by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) via the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE).  Click here to learn more.
