When a new student enrolls in the district, they need to be added to SchoolInsight. All district admins have permissions to create new students. School admins need to have permissions to modify students in order to create new students.
If the student is new to the district, an admin has the ability to create them manually within the new year. Alternatively, if the school uses Online Registration, a new student and family may be added through the new family application.
For a family to register their own student through the new family application, refer to How do new families apply to the district?
To create a student manually as an admin:
-
- Go to Main > Students - Single View
- Select Create Student
- Enter the new student’s name and birth date
- If any matching enrollments appear to the right, see How do I re-enroll a former student?. If the student is truly new, select create a new student
-
If the student has siblings who are already enrolled at the school and exist in the system, you can select a sibling to pre-populate basic information such as home phone, address, and contacts, which you can review prior to creating the student.
-
To search for a sibling
- Enter the sibling’s name in the search box
- Select the sibling’s name from the list
- Copy Data from Sibling
- If the student does not have siblings in the system, click No Sibling Exists, Add Information Manually
-
To search for a sibling

Select one of the three save options:
- Click Save & Add Another to add another student
- Click Save to save the student data and return to the prior page
