Assignments
If you've got any homework (known as Assignments in Arbor), you'll see this on your Arbor Dashboard. Click the assignment to view more details.
All submission statuses will say 'Waiting for the student to submit' (whether you can submit through the Student Portal or only in person) until it is marked by your teacher.
You'll be able to see what class the assignment is for, as well as the due date and the task required. If the teacher has sent over any resources for you to use they will also show here for you to download.
To submit your completed assignment, click the box. Select the file then upload it.
Don't press Mark as Submitted until you've uploaded all your files, as you won't be able to go back and add more later!
To delete a file, just click the bin icon.
Once you've submitted your assignment, you'll see it says it is waiting for the teacher to mark it.
Once your teacher has marked your assignment, it will show on your Arbor Dashboard as marked.
You can click into the assignment to view your mark and any comments.
Can I see a breakdown of which lesson my behaviour points are from?
No, currently Arbor does not allow this functionality in the Student Portal.
Having trouble using the Student Portal? Arbor is only able to work directly with schools, so if you're stuck please contact your school's office. Your school will be able to help you with the majority of questions you might have, and if not they will contact our support team for assistance.
Comments
Where do you report abscence?
Hi Brandon, thanks for your comment. If you're a student, it isn't possible to report absences through Arbor - you'll need to contact your school.
