Student record: Family
This view of a student record [>>] displays the student's family. In Chancery SMS, a family consists of a group of one or more related students (siblings) and their associated contacts [>>]. A family can hold several contacts and siblings, as well as siblings' contacts.
In a system that employs family management, Chancery SMS automatically creates a family for a student when that student registers. The criteria for determining siblings within a family differ from district to district. Typically, brothers and sisters, are considered siblings. However, step-brothers or sisters who live in different homes may or may not be not considered siblings in the same family.
