Add a student and their guardian

A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 7 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.

How to add a student and their guardian

  1. 1Click Students under People in the sidebar
  2. 2Click the Add student button in the top right
  3. 3Fill in First name, Last name, Grade level, Date of birth, and Status — leave Student ID number blank to have one issued automatically
  4. 4Leave Photo release ticked unless the family said no
  5. 5Optionally add a Login email — the student signs in only once your school allows student logins and a parent approves it
  6. 6Type the Parent's name and Parent's email on the same form — they are linked, and reused if already a parent here
  7. 7Click Add student — the Guardians card lists the parent, who gets tuition invoices; Set billing contact changes who does

Part of Student records & compliance

Add or import students, print a complete records packet when a family transfers, bring years of academic history in from CSV, and audit every change in the activity log.
