Update Profile

Settings > Update Profile

This allows you to view and update your account information, including your password, PIN, and hint questions.

❏ Update data:

Current Password	For added protection of this information, you must type your current password to update data on the Update Profile, even though you have already logged on to TeacherPortal. IMPORTANT: If you have three unsuccessful attempts to access the page (invalid password), you will be logged out of your account. If this occurs, contact your campus administrator to have your account reset. To exit without saving any changes, click Home or any other menu item to go to another page.
New Password	To change your password, type a new password. • The password must be 8-46 characters using three of the following: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters • Your password is case sensitive.
Confirm Password	Retype the password exactly as you typed it above. This step confirms that you typed your password as you intended.
New PIN	To change your PIN, type a new four-digit number. It is recommended that you do not choose 1234 or 4321, as these are common and easily guessed.
Phone Number	To provide your telephone number to parents in ParentPortal, type the number in the NNN-NNNNNNN format. If blank, your phone number will not be provided in ParentPortal.
Email Address	To provide your email address to parents in ParentPortal, type the address (e.g., someone@example.net). If blank, your email address will not be provided in ParentPortal.
Notes	Use the field to provide additional notes to parents in ParentPortal, such as conference periods or any other general information they may need. Use up to 500 characters.
Combine Courses in Attendance	Select if you want to combine classes for attendance reporting. If you have multiple course-sections that meet during the same period, this option allows you to record attendance for all sections at one time. If you plan to create a seating chart on Settings > Manage Seating Charts, it is highly recommended that you set this field the way you want it for the semester before creating the seating chart. If you do not want to combine courses for attendance reporting (e.g., PK courses that meet morning and afternoon), do not select the field.
Update Hint Questions	Select if you want to update your hint questions. The questions are updated on the next page when you click Next.
Student Order	Select where you want new students to be listed on the following pages and reports: • Assignment Grades • Cycle Grades • IPR Comments • Print IPR • Assignment Grades Report • Class Roster Report Alpha (default) order - All students are listed in alphabetical order, regardless of the custom sort order established on the Arrange Student Order page. Add new students to the top of the list - Any new students who have enrolled in the course-section since you last saved a custom sort order are displayed at the top of the list. If you have not set up a custom sort order, new students are displayed in alphabetical order. Add new students to the bottom of the list - Any new students who have enrolled in the course-section since you last saved a custom sort order are displayed at the bottom of the list. If you have not set up a custom sort order, new students are displayed in alphabetical order. The setting is the same for all of your classes. This field works in conjunction with Settings > Arrange Student Order and is only available to users who are logged on as teachers. The field is not available to administrative users. IMPORTANT: The setting of the Student Order field is only valid if you have created a custom student order on Settings > Arrange Student Order. If you are not using a custom student order, select Alpha (default) order. NOTE: If you select the option to list new students at the top or bottom of the list, but you have not set up a custom sort order for all course-sections, only classes that have a custom sort order are affected. For all other course-sections, all students are listed in alphabetical order. The Student Order field allows you to toggle between displaying students in alphabetical order and your custom sort order. If you have created a custom sort order, you can temporarily change this field so your students are displayed in alphabetical order. When you change the field again to add new students to the top or bottom of the list, your custom sort order is retained.
Default Assignment Due Date	Indicate if you want a default date to be displayed in the Date Due field on Settings > Manage Assignments. You can select no default date, the current date, or up to five days in the future. Example: If you selected Current Date +2, and the current date is May 20, the Date Due field on Settings > Manage Assignments will display May 22 by default. If May 22 occurs on the weekend, the Date Due field will display the date of the following Monday.
