## Assign the Student to a Guardian

The **Guardian-Student Tagging** feature allows users to associate students with their respective guardians, ensuring a clear and organized relationship between them. This functionality enables users to efficiently tag or untag students under a guardian, facilitating seamless access to student records, communication, and monitoring.

Before utilizing this feature, both student and guardian profiles must be already created in the system. This prerequisite ensures that accurate associations can be made without errors or missing data.

Once the tagging process is completed, the system updates the guardian’s profile with a list of linked students. This updated list ensures that guardians have the appropriate access to their associated students' information, streamlining their ability to monitor academic progress, attendance, and other relevant records.

* Go to **Users** > **Guardians** > click on the **Pencil** icon on the far right side of the Guardian account
* You may add/remove linked children accounts here by clicking on the “Children” field
* Click **Save Changes** once done

A notification message will prompt that you have successfully updated the fields.
