How to Use the Notes Section in a Student’s Profile

Student Profile Notes are flexible and always accessible, making it easy to jot down quick reminders or insights that don’t belong in formal data or session logs.

Updated over a week ago

The Notes section in a student’s profile is designed to document general, non-instructional information—like student preferences, brainstorming ideas for future goals, teacher/parent communication logs, or other relevant context that supports individualized care and planning.


✨ Where to Find It

  1. Navigate to the Students tab from your dashboard.

  2. Click on a student’s name to open their Student Profile.

  3. Below the Student Details box—you’ll see the Notes section.


🧾 Using the Notes Section

  • The Notes box includes six formatting options: bold, italics, underline, hyperlink, and a bulleted or numbered list.

  • As you type, the text box autosaves and expands vertically—no need to scroll or resize manually.


✅ Best Practices

  • Keep notes FERPA-safe: Avoid using full student names or sensitive identifiers if you’re sharing with others.

  • Use bullet points to organize ideas clearly (e.g., preferences, accommodations, brainstorms).

  • Update regularly: Add context after IEP meetings, informal check-ins, or team discussions.


🔒 Privacy & Access

The Notes section is visible to all team members who have access to the student’s profile with a Guest Account. It is not tied to any instructional event or session, and serves as an open-ended workspace.


🙋 FAQs

Q: Can I delete or archive old notes?
A: Currently, the Notes section is a continuous log—editing and removing content is manual. We recommend using dates or headers to separate updates.

Q: Can notes be tagged or categorized?
A: Not at this time. Consider adding section headers (e.g., “Preferences,” “Brainstorm,” “Parent Communication”) for quick reference.

Q: Can I download or print student notes?

A: Student profile notes are printable currently, but you can upvote that feature here or copy/paste those into a doc or take a screenshot
