This page explains how Students behaves for owners, admins, and teachers. For how roles are assigned and who can open Staff. See Staff roles and permissions.

​
Most common use case

When you are troubleshooting “why can’t I see this button/student?” start with this page first.

​
Owner and admin visibility and actions

Owners and admins (sometimes called “admin mode” in the app) can:
  • See all active students in the organization (subject to filters)
  • Use full filters (year, language, grade, class, reading tier, search). Grade, class, and reading tier each support multiple selections (OR logic). Language stays a single selection on this page.
  • Add students manually
  • Import students from CSV
  • Export students to CSV
  • Open the print roster view from the header (uses current filters)
  • Open the student home page from a student name
  • Edit student name details from the row action
  • Open Student Enrollment and remove a student from roster
Only owners manage staff invitations and roles under Configuration → Staff.

​
Teacher visibility and actions

Teachers see only students within the union of active assignments (year + grade + optional class match). Teacher behavior:
  • Assignment-focused header (select one or more assignment rows; roster is the union of matches)
  • Search within assigned roster
  • Open the print roster view for the selected assignment scope
  • No Add Student, Import CSV, Export CSV, or edit-row actions
  • Student home page access depends on assessment permissions:
    • If assessment access is enabled: clicking the student name opens the student home page
    • If disabled: names are read-only text and the home page is not available
  • Notes are view-only on the student home page for teachers

​
Role troubleshooting checklist

​
1) Teacher cannot see expected students

Check:
  • Teacher has active assignment(s) for the current date
  • Assignment school year and grade match student-year records
  • If assignment class is set, class name must match

​
2) Teacher cannot open the student home page

Check:
  • Teacher has assessment access enabled on their staff record (an owner sets this under Configuration → Staff)

​
3) “Missing” admin actions

Check:
  • Current user role is owner or admin (not teacher)
Teachers see assignment pickers and search without import, export, or add-student actions. The layout is narrower than this admin example.
