👀 What Student Information Can I See?
Your school or district decides how much student discipline information teachers can view in simpldiscipline.
Depending on your school's settings, you may be able to see:
- All available discipline information for students rostered to you, or
- Only the incidents and information you personally documented.
These settings are controlled by your school or district. If another teacher can see information that you cannot, it does not necessarily mean there is a problem with your account. Contact your school or district administrator if you have questions about what you should be able to view.
