Student School

I am using the Users/Extended API and the sandbox so I am not sure how to determine the School Id of the student….thx in advance

@Patricia Kearns - What school ID are you referring to?

In the data returned by User Extended Get, there is a field labeled student_id and another field labeled host_id. Both are optional fields that can be used to store ID numbers from other sources.

@Brian Gray I am used to SIS sites that have districts with schools in them. The results would have a school Id to identify which school within the district the student attends.

@Patricia Kearns - I don't think that there is a field specifically for that - but I'm not sure.

I work at a school that is a single campus, so we don't organize students by building. We have two divisions (Upper School and Middle School). The division that a student is in is inferred from the student's grade level.

You could use a custom field to name the building the student is assigned to. Custom field values are reported by User Extended Get.

Other than that, I don't think that I can offer any useful advice here.

@Brian Gray thank you…I appreciate your efforts…I was considering a custom field if no School ID can be found.
