We have an 8th grade student who has a given name that is distictly female but who identifies as a male. He would like to be known by his nickname but hasn't legally changed his given name. We would like to have his name on class rosters appear as only "nickname" "last name". How do we do that?

    I tested this in a sample database. I added a nickname to a student. I then impersonated the teacher of the class, viewed the class page and selected to see the roster. The student's name on the roster for the class appeared as Nickname + Lastname. 


    Is it showing differently for your teachers? Or is it showing up with first name in a different list?

    Thanks so much, Bryna. It does work and that is a
    good solution for us.
