If a schools name has changed, a new school should be created in SEIS. If the school's name is edited, it will affect the School history for all students that have been assigned to that school.

Please note that if the name is slightly changing, where users can easily identify the previous school name (example - from: North Elementary School to: North Elementary), the school name can simply be edited from the Manage School/District page.

Once all students have been removed from the OLD school

1. Contact the SEIS help desk at 866-468-2891 or [email protected] and we will remove the old school. 2. Provide us with the original CDS code. We will convert the 'a' to the real number so that it is reported correctly
