Important teacher tools are gathered together in a convenient pull-down menu near the top of the screen.

The portal includes links to the teacher's Classrooms (click the Course names) and a set of links to features associated with their courses:
- Calendar;
- Gradebook (an optional feature for School Loop Plus).
Click on the More link to view additional features such as:

This area of the portal displays all teacher's courses for the current school year. When courses are not active (i.e. no students are currently enrolled), they are not visible on the portal. Teachers can access all previous courses and move active sections to old courses via Manage Sections in the Quick Links (see below).
The portal also contains a list of Student Trackers, which are customizable groups of students that allow administrators and teacher to focus on their needs. Teachers are automatically given a course tracker for each course they teach.
