🎯 Purpose
The Student Profile gives teachers and administrators a single, unified view of each student in Otus. Instead of pulling data from multiple modules, educators can access grades, standards progress, plans, portfolio work, blogs, attendance, recognitions, third-party data, and family contact information all in one place — making it easier to understand the whole student and respond to their needs.
💡 Who is this for? Teachers use the Student Profile to monitor an individual student's progress, communicate with families, and document classroom observations. Administrators use the profile to support student-level decision-making and to access district-wide data, such as 3rd Party Data uploads and grade-level history.
🏆 Key Features
The Student Profile is organized into four main sections — each one surfacing a different dimension of the student's experience and performance.
Feature | What it does |
Profile | View the student's overall grade in each class, standards progress, and the status of any plans they are associated with. |
Content | Access the student's portfolio of work and any blog posts they have written and published. |
Reports | Review assessment scores, attendance records, recognitions, and 3rd Party Data uploaded for the student. |
Information | See the student's groups, classes, grade levels, family contact information, communication log, notes, and attachments. |
Demographic Info | Basic student information stays visible at the top of every section. Educators can edit name, phone, and password; admins can edit grade level, gender, and ethnicity/race. ❗️Important Note: If your district uses Google or Microsoft Single Sign On, changing the password here will not overwrite Single Sign On login information.  |
⚙️ How It Works
The main Profile page brings together three key data points: the student's overall Gradebook performance for each enrolled class, their Standards progress with filters for grading periods and mastery settings, and the status of any active or completed Plans associated with the student.
The Content tab is the home for items added to the student's Portfolio, as well as any Blog posts they have published. Portfolio items carry forward year to year, giving educators a long-term view of the student's work both inside and outside of Otus.
The Reports section provides a tabular view of the student's Assessments, Attendance, and Recognitions. Any 3rd Party Data uploaded for the student also appears here and can be minimized by source for easier viewing.
The Information tab contains the student's District Groups, Classes, and Grade Level history. It is also where educators view and add Family Contacts, log family communications, leave notes that can flow to report cards, and attach files to the student's record.
📌 ProTip: Use the Profile, Content, Reports, and Information tabs together for a complete picture of the student. The Profile shows where they are now, Content shows what they have produced, Reports show trends over time, and Information shows the relationships and context surrounding their learning.
