Setup: Family Portal - General
The Family Portal allows students and their families to access student mastery and related data online. Use the setup module to enable the Family Portal and customize the experience.
Note: manage portal accounts in the Admin module.
- Enable Family Portal: if not enabled, no user can access the family portal.
- Parent Coordinator / School Contact: A school staff member that a student and their guardian can contact if they have questions or need assistance.
- Portal Grading Period: to simplify the experience, the portal shows mastery data over a specific grading period at a time. Portal users cannot change this date range, so make sure to keep it current.
- Portal Mastery Scheme: to simplify the experience, the portal shows mastery data using a specific reporting scheme at a time.
- Default Student Portal Password: since student records can be created at any time via a SIS data import or other process, this determines the behavior when a new student record is created.
- None: no password will be automatically set, and an admin must set the password for the account to be active.
- Set to Student ID: new student records will automatically get a portal password equal to their primary student ID.
- Set to 5-digit PIN: a random numeric PIN-style password will be created for each new student.
- Enable Portal Google SSO: if enabled, users can log into the portal using a standard single sign-on workflow with their Google Apps account. To work correctly, the student email username must match their Google Apps email address.
- Portal Login Methods: If using Google based email addresses for Student Accounts, this setting can determine the password pathway.
- Password or Google SSO allows Student Accounts to use either their JumpRope managed password (in Admin - Student Accounts) or Sign in with Google SSO
- Username/Password only forces Student Accounts to login with the username and password managed in Admin - Student Accounts. They cannot use the Sign in with Google SSO button on login.
- Google SSO only requires Student Accounts to use the Sign in with Google SSO button on the JumpRope login page. In this case, the Password value managed in Admin - Student Accounts is unused.
- Enable Email Teacher: Adds an envelope icon link next to the class name and assignments in the portal that allows students to directly email the teacher of record (note if there are co-teachers, it will only email the first teacher of record for the class).
