Add or Edit a Preferred Pronoun

This article tells how to add or edit a person's preferred pronoun on their SiD record.

An optional pronoun field appears on SiD student, staff, and volunteer records. Examples of pronouns include she/her/hers, he/him/his, they/them/their. Note that pronouns are not included on state and federal reporting. 

If desired, type a pronoun when creating a new record or adding an existing person record to SiD. Existing records in your site can also be edited to include the pronoun preference.

When a pronoun is included on a person's record, it will appear next to their name at the top of each screen.
