This lesson will cover how to Assign Legal Guardians to Students in Illuminate Special Education.
This lesson requires that you select a student and are currently in student mode. If you are unsure how to select a student, refer to the Searching for Students document. If you have already selected a student, please continue.
Navigate to Contacts
Click on the Students tab and under Current, select Student Contacts.
Confirm Legal Guardians Records Say Yes
Look to see that Yes appears next to the legal guardian(s) name for the student. If Yes is next to each legal guardian, then you are all set for this student. Be sure all non-legal guardians indicate No next to them.
This process ensures that only the legal guardian(s) are included in the IEP, IFSP, REED, etc.
NOTE: If you do not go into your Student Information System and update here as well then this make get unchecked the next time there is an import from your SIS.
