Districts of Residence

Use the Districts of Residence page to define the areas within your school district in which students reside. Once defined, set the value for each student using the Transfer Information student page. If a student changes residency districts, transfer the student out of school, and then re-enroll them into school to generate a re-enrollment transaction record that reflects this change. Use PowerSchool attendance-related reports to reflect such status changes.
