Viewing assigned students
Last updated 2026-06-08
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.
