Student Cards

Use the Student Cards page to track activity per child

Summary: The Student Cards page shows one card per child in your class, each summarizing that child's recorded activity for the date range selected in the upper-right corner. Tabs across the top pre-filter every card to a single type — lessons, trackers, or observations — so you can scan the whole class and see at a glance whether you have recorded something for each child. From a card you can edit or delete an existing entry, or add a new one right where you notice it is missing.

Who can do this

Any teacher can use the Student Cards page for the children in their classroom. No special role is required.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the Student Cards page. You will see one card per child, each showing a summary of that child's activity.
  2. Set the date range. Use the date range selector in the upper-right corner to control the time period each card summarizes (for example, the past week).
  3. Read each card's summary. Each card shows what has been recorded for that child — lessons, trackers recorded, and observations recorded — within the selected range.
  4. Use the tabs to focus on one type. Use the tabs across the top to pre-filter every card to a single type. For example, the Lessons tab shows the lessons recorded for the children. See "What the tabs do" below.
  5. Edit or delete an entry. Use the three-dot menu next to an entry to edit or delete it. Choosing Edit opens the entry so you can change the date, add a note, or adjust the assessment level.
  6. Add a missing entry. If a child is missing an entry you expected, click the Add button on that child's card. The matching form opens — type your entry and click Save. See "Adding an entry from a card" below.

What the tabs do

The tabs across the top — lessons, trackers, and observations — pre-filter every card at once to that single type. Switching tabs lets you look at your whole class through one lens at a time: all the lessons, then all the trackers, then all the observations. It is the fastest way to see how consistently one kind of record-keeping has been done across the class.

Scanning the class at a glance

Because every child has a card and the cards sit side by side, the Student Cards page makes gaps easy to spot. If you hold yourself to an expectation — for example, recording an observation for each child every week — you can switch to the observations tab and immediately see which children still need one. The page is built for exactly this kind of "have I covered everyone?" check.

Adding an entry from a card

When you notice a child is missing something, you do not have to leave the page. Click the Add button on that child's card and the matching record-keeping form opens, already tied to that child. Fill it in and click Save, and the new entry appears in the list and is included in that child's activity summary.

A few things worth knowing

  • Each card summary reflects the date range in the upper-right corner, so change the range to see a different period.
  • The Add button on a card is a quick on-ramp to the same record-keeping forms you use elsewhere in the system.
  • The three-dot menu gives you the same edit and delete options you have on the Activities page, without leaving Student Cards.
