Student Demographics: School-specific student information

The information on the Student Demographics page's School Specific tab includes the following:

= Preferred name: The name the student prefers to be called.
= Current age [see Student Demographics: Overview >>]
= Home school [see Student record: Enrollments >>]
= Current grade level: The student's current grade level in the district.
= Current homeroom: The student's homeroom at the school. A staff member can change it here or in the context of homeroom rosters [>>]. Note: We recommend that the student be assigned to a homeroom that is compatible with his current grade level.
= Counselor: The student's assigned counselor [>>], depending on the calendar in use. A School Administrator can assign a School Counselor through the student's academic plan [>>]. A School Administrator can assign a School Counselor to several students by selecting a list of students and in the Actions menu, clicking Assign > Values. In the Assign Values dialog, for Assign Field, the administrator can choose a counselor for the Active Calendar ("Counselor (A)") or the Planning Calendar ("Counselor (P)")—provided a Planning Calendar exists. During year-end processing [>>], PowerSchool SMS changes the counselor in the Planning Calendar to that of the Active Calendar.
