Student Management

Photo approvals

Approve or reject student and staff photos before they go on ID cards and the parent portal.

Photo approvals

Photos uploaded for ID cards, the parent portal, and your public webpage go through a moderation queue first. This keeps blurry or inappropriate photos off official documents.

Two separate queues

  • Students → Photo Approvals — student photos uploaded during admission.
  • Staff → Photo Approvals — staff photos uploaded during onboarding.

They work the same way but use separate permissions, so academic staff can review student photos without seeing staff records.

What to check

  • Face is clearly visible — passport-style, looking at the camera.
  • Background is neutral — no clutter, no other people.
  • Reasonable lighting — not too dark, no harsh shadows.
  • Recent — student photos from the last 6 months, staff within the year.
  • Appropriate dress — uniform if applicable.

Approving or rejecting

  • Approve — the photo becomes the avatar on their record, ID card, and parent portal.
  • Reject — pick a reason. The uploader gets an email to re-upload. The previous photo (or a default placeholder) stays in use.

Bulk reject

If a whole class submitted photos that don't meet uniform requirements, select all → reject with a common reason. One email goes out per rejected photo.

Photo history

Old approved photos aren't deleted — they're archived against the record. The Photo History tab on the detail page lets you roll back to a previous photo if needed.
