Scout gives you a place to keep a portfolio of your student's work. You can upload photos, documents, and other files so your school has an up-to-date record of what your student has been working on.

Overview

Each student's portfolio lives on their profile in Scout. Anything you upload is stored with the student's record so their teachers and the school's administrative team can review it.

If you primary use the scout app, scroll to the second section of the article

Step 1: Open your student's profile

Log in to your Scout parent account and select your student from your home page. If you have more than one student, choose the one whose portfolio you want to update.
