Hey there lkdowden,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re seeing some issues with Apple Teacher. I’ll be happy to get you pointed in the right direction for this.
Have you tried restarting your iPad? If not, restart and see if this has any impact on the issue.
If that doesn’t help, check for an iOS update. Go to Settings > General > Software Update. If you see an update available, create a backup, install the update, and see if the issue is resolved:

If you continue to see the issue after that, you’ll probably want to reach out to Apple Teacher Support using the following link:
