Hello all,
I am brand new to this group. I have tried searching in the old posts and can't find an answer to this question.
On report cards, it uses our full name. (first, middle, last) I was told that since that is my legal name they can't change what it says on the report card. Is there honestly not a way for me to get my name changed on there? Thank you in advance for any help or direction...(What I am thinking is that it is at a district level that they require this and that is why they won't edit our names.)
Happy Friday!!!
-Kate
School records should always list the students legal names. Students have been denied scholarships and courts will not accept school records that do not list the legal name.

Check with your PowerSchool Admin for your district on how they set up the report cards.

@K8_teaches There is literally a preferred name field for Staff in PowerSchool. It is called "PreferredName" (the field itself has no quotes).
If you are in the United States, this depends on the State you live in. In NY, for instance, NYSED guidance is to use the student's preferred name in the SIS. But that is guidance, not a law.
