Setting Up the Registration Forms
Add custom questions to your family and student registration forms
You can customise the questions families answer when they:
- Register for a family account
- Create student profiles
This allows you to collect additional information during registration, such as medical details, referral sources, emergency contacts, and more.
You can:
- Add existing custom fields to registration forms
- Create new custom fields directly from the form setup
- Reorder fields using drag and drop
- Remove fields from forms at any time
ℹ️ If you add new fields after families have already registered, families will be prompted to complete the new questions the next time they log into the family portal.

Settingsfrom the left menu - Under Forms and custom fields, select

What Families Will See
When families register or create students, they’ll be asked to complete the questions you’ve added to the form.
If new fields are added later, families will be prompted to answer them the next time they log into the family portal.
Custom registration forms help you collect the information you need upfront, making enrolment and student management easier for both staff and families.
