Addresses

Each student record should be associated with at least one address. In some cases a student may have multiple addresses, for example one address associated with one parent and a second address for another parent.

The example below shows a student with two addresses:

New Address or Existing Address?

A new address should be added when creating a new student who does not have siblings already in the system, and does not have a parent/guardian who is in the system as a contact for another student.

If the student you are adding is associated with a parent/guradian whose address is already recorded, the Add an Existing Address function should be used. Otherwise, it is likely you will end up with duplicate parent/guardian accounts

Adding a New Address

When you are first creating a new student record it is not possible to access the address fields. After you have saved the General Info for your student account, a link will appear for Address & Contacts.  Click the Address & Contacts link:

In the Addresses & Contact section, click Add a New Address:

Fill in The Address, City, State and Zip fields, and click Save:

Adding an Existing Address

To associate an address already in the SIS with the new student account you are creating, use the Add an Existing Address link:

You will be prompted to select an address from a list of addresses from your school.  Note that you may enter a partial address or street name in the search field to narrow the list:

After selecting your address, click Save.
