name change in PowerSchool

[jldehning]

I have a student in which the name was spelled wrong for the enrollment express.  How do I change it in PowerSchool?

The student profile is housed in PowerSchool SIS.  Due to this, you will need to change the spelling of the student's name within SIS.  You will want to work with the PowerSchool SIS admin or Technical Contacts to make this update.

As a PowerSchool admin, it would be nice if this question was actually answered so we could find this community useful as a quick reference tool.

"you will need to change the spelling of the student's name within SIS"

That is literally the answer. What more are you looking for?

As the PowerSchool SIS admin who needs to do this, how is it helpful?

@aispaulmilton That's boilerplate, as the moderator has no idea who anyone on this site is. Just go change the name.

@aispaulmilton Generally speaking, posts made to this generic community forum are rarely admin users but the general public. A more appropriate placement for this post is the PowerSchool SIS Admin Forum. It's in that forum where more detailed responses can be presented.

That sounds like it will be useful to me in the future. Can you add the link to the PowerSchool SIS Admin Forum to save a google?

Thanks kindly. Bookmarked!

Choose the students name and then go to demographics. The spelling can be changed from that screen.
