Make it visible to the family
Turn on Visible to family so they can see it in the Family Portal, then upload. You can also upload first and later click Share with family on the file. Shared files show Visible to family in family portal — turn that off to hide the file again.
Tips
- Student Files (the admin-only tab) stay hidden from teachers and families. Use Shared Files when you want teachers — and optionally the family — to see the file.
- Families view shared files under Files in the Family Portal.
- Teachers without full student access can also upload on their assigned roster and use Share with family.
