At a glance

  • Who uses it: Every teacher with portal access.
  • When to use it: Daily — this is the home of your portal.
  • Permissions required: Teacher (you see only your own students).
  • Navigation path: Teacher Portal → My students.

Purpose

The My Students view is your scoped roster. It only shows students who are explicitly granted Teacher Portal access for them (as classroom teacher or co-teacher). This is the FERPA-aligned default — you don't see students who aren't yours.

What's on each student row

  • Name (preferred) and grade.
  • Active case indicator — open / none.
  • Last activity — most recent teacher-visible note or feedback.
  • Attention flag — if an attention rule has fired on this student.

Click a student to open their portal-side detail page.

[SCREENSHOT: teacher-my-students-list] Teacher Portal → My students with 12 students listed; two show active-case indicators and one shows an attention flag.

What you can do from here

  • Open a student to see their case list (filtered to cases you're attached to).
  • Submit a referral if a new concern surfaces — see Submitting a referral.
  • Provide feedback on an active case — see Teacher feedback.
  • Request portal access to a student who isn't yours but should be — see Access requests.

What you cannot do

  • See students who aren't yours.
  • See cases on your students where you're not the attached teacher.
  • Edit student identity fields (admins do that).

Tips & best practices

  • Pin the My Students tab in your browser — it's the page you'll use most.
  • Sort by Last activity when triaging — recently active cases need eyes more than dormant ones.

FAQ

A student in my class isn't here — why? You haven't been assigned to them yet. Either an admin needs to add you (or assign you as co-teacher), or you can request access.

Where's the search? Use the search box at the top of the My Students view. It only searches your own roster.
