Editing a student behavior action

While you can assign a student behavior action to several students at once, you can tailor that action for each student. Tailoring involves adding and removing action steps, linking to the relevant events and concerns, and recording additional details. You also have the option of tailoring each action step [>>].

Note: The steps associated with some actions may automatically affect student attendance [Attendance setup >>], as in the case of suspensions, or student enrollment; for example, a student expelled from one school might be prevented from enrolling in another district school.
