Generate student ID cards

Use the ID cards page to make identity cards for your students. You can print the cards for a whole class at once, for example at the start of a new school year.

Before you start

• Add your students first. See Add a new student or Import students in bulk (Excel).
• Check that each student's details are correct and up to date.
• Keep your printer ready and loaded with paper or card sheets.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, open Students → ID cards.
2. Under Class, pick the class you want.
3. Under Section, pick one section, or choose All sections to get every section of that class.
4. Look at the cards on the screen. Check names, classes and other details.
5. If a detail is wrong, correct it in that student's record. Then come back to this page.
6. Click Print.
7. In the print window that opens, choose your printer and print.

Print a card for one student

If only one child needs a new card, for example a new admission or a lost card, open the ID cards page and choose that student's class and section. Then find the student's card and print it.

Good to know

• Do a test print of one page first. This helps you check the size and layout before you print the whole class.
• Fix wrong details in the student record, not on paper, so the next card is also correct.
• If you cannot see the ID cards page, your role may not include it. Ask your school admin. They can change this under Roles & Permissions.
• For finding a student quickly, see Find a student or a whole family.
