1. Let administrators choose whether Guardian Email is required on enrollment forms

   Currently, when setting up Guardian Information on Enroll Path enrollment forms, administrators cannot change the "Required" setting for the Guardian Email Address field — it is fixed and cannot be toggled. Some districts want to make Guardian Email required so families must provide it during enrollment.
   What is being requested: Give administrators the ability to control whether the Guardian Email Address field (and similar guardian contact fields) is required on their enrollment forms, directly from the form editor.
   Why this matters: Districts that rely on guardian email for communication and portal access want to ensure it is collected during enrollment, rather than chasing missing emails afterward. Setting it as required supports each district's own data-collection policy without a support request or code change.
   Value if implemented: Administrators could turn the Required setting on or off for Guardian Email themselves, ensuring complete guardian contact information at the point of enrollment when their district needs it.
   Current workaround: None available.

   Hello, this work item has been completed and was released on 10/9/2026. Here are the relevant revision notes:

   Guardian Email Address used to be a locked field on enrollment forms, so administrators could not change its Required setting. As part of this update, the Email Address field in the Guardian Information section (and in Emergency Contacts, Restrained Individual, and Medical (Local Physician)) is now a standard field in the Admin Portal > Forms > Form Editor. Administrators can now:

   • Turn the Required setting on or off for Guardian Email Address, so districts can require families to provide it during enrollment
   • Add or remove the Email Address field in each of these contact sections
   • Map each section’s Email Address field to the Aeries contact email on the SIS Integrations page

   
   

   Note: If the Guardian Information Email Address field is removed from a form, a warning appears explaining that guardian portal accounts will not be created automatically for that form.

   
   

   Existing forms keep their current email mappings, so no action is needed unless you want to change your settings.
