If a family sent you a portfolio link, start here.
A complete portfolio, in your browser.
Shared links open in any browser without an account. You'll see the same document the parent sees, organized into the sections evaluators have told us they look for: a chronological log of activities, per-subject work samples with photos, a reading list, and attendance.
Print it, save it as PDF from your browser, or scroll through it during your conference with the student. The link is private, password-free, and expires after the parent's chosen timeframe.

How to read one of these efficiently.
It's a chronological table that tells you the shape of the year in one minute. Look for regularity, breadth across subjects, and progression over the months.
The per-subject sections show 8–12 work samples each. Browse them like a curator — three or four per subject is usually enough to form a judgment about progress.
A long reading list with titles you recognize is one of the strongest signals of an engaged year. Florida statute specifically requires reading material be designated by title.

Profile and credentials
A page parents can find listing your county, certification, pricing, and sample evaluation letter.
Calendar and booking
Parents book evaluation slots directly. Auto-shared portfolio access. Calendar integration.
Letter delivery
Upload signed evaluation letters, parents download. We handle the storage and trail.

Things evaluators ask.
How do I know the portfolio was actually contemporaneous?
Every entry stores both the entry date (when learning happened) and the upload timestamp (when the parent added it). The chronological log uses the entry date. We also display which entries came in via email forwarding — those are timestamped at the moment of forwarding, which tends to be very close to the moment of learning.
Can parents fabricate entries after the fact?
Parents can add backdated entries — that's expected and allowed under FS 1002.41, which permits contemporaneous records but doesn't define a maximum lag. As an evaluator, you'd look at patterns: consistent entries spread across the year suggest genuine ongoing capture; a flurry of entries in the week before evaluation might warrant conversation with the student.
What about AI-generated summaries — are they trustworthy?
AI drafts each entry's summary from the photo, then the parent reviews and edits. We preserve the original AI text on each entry so you can see when the parent corrected it. The parent's edited summary is what shows in the portfolio. Standards suggestions follow the same pattern: AI proposes, parent confirms.
Do you accept evaluators from outside Florida?
Florida is our v1 focus. As we expand to other evaluation-required states (Pennsylvania, New York, Washington, Vermont, Ohio), we'll need certified evaluators in those states too. Join the waitlist and tell us your state.
What about confidentiality?
Share links are private and time-limited. They're not indexed by search engines, can't be guessed, and the parent can revoke them at any time. We don't share portfolio data with anyone other than the family that owns it and the evaluator they explicitly send a link to.
