This feature lets schools model households, guardianship, and sibling links within PosiEd. A single “Household” record can represent a family home, with multiple student and adult members connected. PosiEd tracks guardianship details (who has pickup permission), consent forms, and family-wide activities (e.g. one parent enrolling multiple siblings).

Key Benefits:

• Holistic Family View: Administrators and teachers can see siblings and guardians at a glance, improving communication (e.g. sending one email to a whole family).
• Consent & Permissions: Manage pickup authorizations and media consents per student within the household context, ensuring compliance with policies.
• Efficiency: Link siblings quickly so events or forms sent to “a student’s family” automatically include all children in that household.

Use Cases:

• A single parent with three children uses one account to update contact info for all.
• After-school supervisors verify authorized pickup by consulting the household record.
• School office generates a family mailing list to send permission slips home for all siblings.

How It Works:

PosiEd uses Salesforce Accounts (Household model) or a custom “Household” object to group related Contacts (students and guardians). Administrators set up links between student records and their guardians, and PosiEd automatically rolls up family-level data (e.g. last contact date or outstanding consents) for easy viewing.
