What do I need before adding a student to a drive?

A student page is public, so get a parent or guardian's OK before you add a student. Follow your school's own rules for sharing student names.

What a student page shows

• A first name and last initial. If you type a full last name, only the first letter is kept.
• A team or class name, if you add one.
• A short line the student writes when they join, if they add one.
• The drive's cover picture and story, the amount raised, and supporter names (donors can hide theirs).

Good to know

• There is no student photo field. The only picture is the drive's cover picture, so choose one that does not show a child's face unless you have permission.
• When a family joins with the code, the join page tells them the page shows a first name and last initial only.
• To take a student off, click Edit on their row, then Remove. If they have gifts, the page is hidden from the public and the money stays counted.
• You can hide a donor's public note with Hide note in the Gifts table.
