in simpldiscipline, there are certain limitations when working with withdrawn students due to the integration with the student information system (SIS). This guide explains how to search for withdrawn students, what visibility rules apply, and how to handle incidents involving withdrawn students.

Searching for Withdrawn Students

If a student has withdrawn and transferred out of your school district, you can still search for and view their information within simpldiscipline. If a student transfers from one school to another within the same district, you will no longer be able to view their record in simpldiscipline after the transfer. This is because their record is now associated with the new school.

To view withdrawn students, navigate to the Reviewer area and select “Student Quick Lookup” from the left-hand navigation menu. Be sure to check the box labeled “Include Inactive Students” to include withdrawn students in your search results.

Editing Incidents for Withdrawn Students

Use the Quick Student Lookup and select the Include Inactive Students option to locate the student and open their Student Overview page. Scroll down to the Student Incidents section, then select the incident that needs to be updated. Select "edit incident" to make changes.

If you need additional help on editing, follow our guidelines for Editing Incidents to make the necessary changes

Submitting Incidents, Minor Infractions, Notes, or Positive Referrals for Withdrawn Students

You can still add minor infractions, positive referrals, and notes for inactive students. However, this must be done from the Student Overview page using the Quick Entry option. From there, you can select Note and enter the needed details.
