Troubleshooting

First time using the Teacher Portal? Start with the Teacher First-Time Onboarding path (login, confirm classes, week-one checklist). This guide assumes you already have a teacher login.

0 Before you start

Your school email is listed on your teacher record in the admin system
You have a login password for that email (or can complete password setup with the school)
Optional: if you are also a parent, the same login can open the Parent Portal via the portal switcher

Direct links:

First-time path: Teacher First-Time Onboarding
Log in: proclaim-school.web.app/public/login.html (choose Teacher)
Teacher Portal: proclaim-school.web.app/teacher/

1 Log in

Open the Login page.
Select Teacher.
Sign in with the email on your teacher profile.

Parent-teachers: after login, use Portals: Teacher · Parent in the header to switch without logging out.

1b Instructor agreement (each semester)

When your classes are assigned for a term, the Teacher Portal shows a banner until you sign digitally:

Handbook — full Expectations & Code of Conduct (same school handbook parents see).
Waivers — instructor liability and social media release.
Contract — document version 1.0.2; your name and assigned classes (and pay rates from your teacher record) are pre-filled. Choose cash payment or apply to family tuition. (Comes after the handbook so you can truthfully agree to it.)
Sign — type your full legal name (electronic signature).

If a class is missing or wrong, stop and contact the school administrator before signing. After you sign, the record is stored for the school under Admin → Signed Agreements (filter: Teacher contracts).

2 Semester filter & welcome bar

At the top of the Teacher Portal:

A welcome line with your name and a short summary (class and student counts)
A Semester dropdown — defaults to the current term (active, or upcoming if that is the open term)
Choose All Semesters only when you need a full history view

Changing the semester filters your classes, pay summary, and related lists for that term.

3 Pay summary cards

When you are a regular (non–church-staff) teacher, colored cards summarize compensation for the selected semester:

Total Semester Pay — gross teaching pay (sessions × rate × weeks)
Applied to Tuition — if your family is linked and costs are offset against pay (tuition credit)
Amount Paid — payments already recorded for this semester (e.g. check)
To Be Paid — remaining amount after tuition credit and payments

Figure 1 — Pay cards for the selected semester. Teacher-parents often see “Applied to Tuition.”

Pay figures are informational. Official payroll is managed by the school. Report discrepancies to the school administrator rather than editing anything in the portal.

4 Classes tab — rosters & tools

The default tab is Classes. Each assigned class shows schedule info, enrollment count, stages, and a student roster.

Common actions on a class card:

Log Attendance — mark present / absent / late for a date, then save
View History — past attendance records (delete only if you made a mistake and the school allows it)
Emails — copy parent email list for that class
Family contact — view family contact info for a student when available
Submit syllabus link — paste a Google Drive (or similar) link for admin approval; parents see approved syllabi

5 Logging attendance

Open Log Attendance on the class.
Confirm or set the date.
Mark each student (present / absent / late as offered).
Save. You can review or correct via View History.

Log attendance the same day when possible so families and the school administrator have an accurate record.

6 Syllabus links

Click Submit syllabus link on the class.
Paste a shareable link (Google Drive recommended) and an optional label.
Submit for admin approval.
After approval, parents can open the syllabus from their portal enrollments.

Ensure the link is set so the school community can view it (anyone with the link / school accounts, per school administrator guidance).

7 Assessments tab

Switch to the Assessments tab.
Filter by semester and/or class if needed.
Click Add Assessment.
Choose class and student, enter name/type, scores or mastery level as appropriate, then save.

You can edit or delete assessments you created from the list when those actions are shown.

Use the fields provided rather than inventing a separate gradebook outside the portal unless the school asks you to. Letter grades are preferred unless another scale makes more sense for the class.

8 If you are also a parent

Use the header Portals switcher to open Parent Portal for your family’s enrollments and balance
Teacher pay applied to tuition shows on both sides when the school administrator has linked your teacher profile to your family
Do not use someone else’s login — each parent should have their own account with the family code

? Troubleshooting

Not registered as a teacher / no profile for this email: The Teacher role or teachers record email does not match your login. Ask the school administrator to align email + Teacher role.
No classes listed: Check the semester dropdown. If still empty, you may not be assigned as teacher_id on any class for that term — contact the school administrator.
Pay cards missing: Church staff and some admin views hide pay summary cards. Parent-only logins do not see teacher pay.
Amount paid looks wrong: Only payments tagged to that exact semester name (e.g. Fall 2026) count. Report odd amounts to the school administrator with the semester selected.
Cannot save attendance or assessments: Confirm you are online and still logged in. Refresh and try once. If it persists, note the class name and time and contact the school administrator.
