What is a School Group?

A school group is the highest level of organization in Enroll. A school group can be the name of a district, a charter management organization, or simply the name of a single school site. 

The school group is used as a layer of organization in Enroll when filtering/reporting, and for organizing SIS connections using Sync Service (different SIS connections can be tied to different school groups).

Create a School Group

Navigate to Settings (gear icon) > Schools/Programs > Manage School Groups

• Edit an existing school group by clicking Edit (pencil icon)
• Delete a school group by selecting the trash can icon
• Create a new school group by clicking “+ Add a School Group”

Group Information

• Enter the group name. (e.g., school district name, single-site school name, etc.)
• Enter a number for the group code (e.g., 1 or your district ID in your SIS)

Boundary Settings

• If a District Boundary type shape file has been imported under Settings > Boundaries, select the shape file that will be used to outline the entire district, not each individual school in the district. Click here to learn about boundary types.

Re-registration Rule

• If the Registration/Re-registration module is enabled, a rule can be selected that tells the system what criteria a student must meet to re-register in a school. A very common re-registration rule is one that will only allow students to re-register in the school that is selected as their current school.
• A re-registration rule must be created before it can be selected. Create a rule by going to Settings > Custom Data > Eligibility Rules/Restrictions. Click here to learn how.

Texas Education Agency (TEA)

• For Texas charter organizations that are required to report waiting list information to TEA, enabling this setting will display a TEA tab under School Settings for all schools assigned to this school group. Click here to learn more about TEA functionality available in Enroll.
