Option 1) Rollover existing student records in SchoolMint

• Advantages: Independently "roll over" returning students at any time - no need to wait for processing by SchoolMint engineering
• Considerations: If your SIS is your source of truth and you have made a lot of updates to your student information in your SIS, then your students will not have the most up-to-date information on SchoolMint. However, parents can still update their information on SchoolMint. 
• Next Steps: See steps 2A and 2B below
  • You need to rollover records in two steps:
    • A) Rolling over NEW student registration records to the next academic year
    • B) Rolling over EXISTING (current students) re-enrollment records to the next school year

Part 1A) Rolling over NEW student registration records to the next academic year

• Step 1: Navigate to the Application Index
• Step 2: Filter your search to only one school, one grade, and one specific status (Accepted, Registration In Progress, Registration Completed, Registration Verified) to find the returning students eligible for re-enrollment

• Step 3: Select the student(s) that you'd like to move over to the next year. Then click Create Re-Enrollment Record
• Step 4: Next, you will see a pop-up prompting you to select the next school and grade to create the selected student records for the next academic year
• Step 5: Select Initial Re-Enrollment Status:
  • "Undecided (Intent To Return)" allows students to indicate if they are Returning or Not Returning for the next academic year before they fill out the re-enrollment packet for the next academic year. 
  • "Not Started (Fill out Re-enrollment Packet)" assumes students are returning and to fill out a re-enrollment packet for the next academic year

• Step 6: Select or deselect the Send Notification checkbox. If this box is checked, all families will receive an automatic notification
  • You can view/edit this notification under Settings > Manage SMs and Email Templates  for notification type Re-enrollment Undecided or Re-enrollment Not Started
• Step 7: Click Create Re-enrollment. You will see your results in Admissions > Manage Re-enrollments in the next academic year. 

Part 1B) Rolling over EXISTING (current students) re-enrollment records to the next school year

• Step 1: Toggle to Admissions > Manage Re-Enrollments
• Step 2: Filter for the students in the same grade, school, and status. Select the students you would like to copy over into the next academic year
• Step 3: Click Select Bulk Action  > Create Re-enrollment Record

• Step 4: Next, you will see a pop-up prompting you to select the next school and grade to create the selected student records for the next academic year
• Step 5: Select Initial Re-Enrollment Status:
  • "Undecided (Intent To Return)" allows students to indicate if they are Returning or Not Returning for the next academic year before they fill out the re-enrollment packet for the next academic year
  • "Not Started (Fill out Re-enrollment Packet)" assumes students are returning and to fill out a re-enrollment packet for the next academic year
• Step 6: Select or deselect the Send Notification checkbox. If this box is checked, all families will receive an automatic notification
  • You can view/edit this notification under Settings > Manage SMs and Email Templates  for notification type Re-enrollment Undecided or Re-enrollment Not Started
• Step 7: Click Create Re-enrollment. You will see your results in Admissions > Manage Re-enrollments in the next academic year. 

Option 2) Import returning student records via CSV import 

• Advantages: Import the most up-to-date student and guardian information from your SIS into SchoolMint
• Considerations: Takes approximately ~2 weeks to process and test the import into SchoolMint once the import template has been finalized with no formatting errors or missing data. 
• Next Steps: Please consult your Customer Success Specialist or Customer Success Manager to complete this import

Option 3) Import records via API integration (only available for PowerSchool and Aeries customers)

• Considerations: This process is only available for PowerSchool and Aeries customers. The processing time for this import is approximately 4 weeks
• Next Steps: If you use an SIS that has an API integration, please consult your Customer Success Specialist or Customer Success Manager to complete this import
• To learn more about SIS integration, read our SIS Overview.

Option 4) How To Add a Single Student Record Manually

• This method is ideal when you need to manually create an individual re-enrollment record for a student who does not yet exist in SchoolMint. Typically, students who were not included in the import processes described above can be added this way
• Step 1: Navigate to Admissions > Manage Re-Enrollments
• Step 2: Click Search
• Step 3: Click on the green Add Student Button
• Step 4: Fill out the requested information to create the new Re-Enrollment record

• Step 5: Select or deselect the Send Notification checkbox. If this box is checked, all families will receive an automatic notification
  • You can view/edit this notification under Settings > Manage SMs and Email Templates  for notification type Re-enrollment Undecided or Re-enrollment Not Started
• Step 6: Click Create Re-enrollment
• Step 7: Using this method, creating a new student record will automatically generate an access code for that re-enrolling student. Learn more about how to help families with access codes.

PLEASE NOTE

• Be sure to de-select "Send Notification" if you do not want the parent to be notified when the re-enrollment is added.
• An email address and mobile phone are required. If either of these is not available, you can fill in generic information to submit the record.
• Learn more about how to help families with access codes.
