Survey Tags provide schools with the flexibility to meet their priorities. Check out the video demo below or the step by step guide. 

 

 

1. Click on Surveys->Configure Surveys

 

2. Click the 'tags' tab at the top of the page and enter your new tags in the box provided. Below is an example of how a school could use Student and Special Education Tags.

 

You can also use Student Tags (not Special Education Tags) for Student-Class Pairings.

 

Student Tag Examples:

  • Young for Year Group
  • Medical
  • Funded (Level)
  • Composite/Split Class YES
  • Composite/Split Class NO
  • English/Literacy Support Program
  • Math/Numeracy Support Program
  • High Achievers Program
  • Supportive Parent/Family
  • Challenging Parent/Family
  • Priority Placement
  • Music Program
  • Arts Program
  • Sports Program
  • G & T program
  • Ethnicity
  • Religious Considerations
  • Requires Meeting with School
  • Office Use Only (Coded)
Student Tags are not taken into account by the Class Creator sorting algorithm unless they are used for Student-Class Pairings.
