Flags (New York)

Tool Search: Flags

Flags provide a way of labeling students for things such as food allergies and contact restrictions. Any number of flags can be created for a school or district, and any number of flags can be assigned to a student.

Flags can be assigned to students manually on the Student Flags tools or using the Flags/Academic Program Wizard.
