Seesaw Family

At Hill City Preschool we use a free smart phone app called Seesaw. This is our most popular mode of communication to families. You can also access it online. We are aligned with Hill City Elementary so families will use this platform throughout elementary school. It is a great way to get used to this app. If you do not have access to a phone or computer we will always offer other communication options.

Notifications will be sent through the Seesaw app when needed.
