Managing Schools

Updated on

Adding, Modifying, or Deleting Schools

During the initial implementation, you will be working directly with ion support to set up any new schools.  If new schools are added, if names are changed, and if schools are closed, we recommend you reach out to [email protected] to work through the process so both historical and new information is properly synced.

If you are syncing your SIS, the SIS School ID is a "primary key" that links all data between ion and your SIS. If you have questions about what should go in this field, please reach out to [email protected].

You must be a District Administrator to perform this task.

To manage schools for your account, navigate to "Admin > Schools" in the main menu.

 

You will be shown a list of schools currently associated with your account. To add a new school, click "New".

Complete the "New School" form and click "Save."

Repeat for any additional schools in your district.

School Area

  1. School Areas are created in SIS>SIS Settings>School Areas.  
  2. Once they are added, a drop down will allow you to select a school area.
