Using DreamClass Forms to Update Student Information

Automate document collection with private forms

Written by Lida Diavolitsi

DreamClass Forms allow you to request updated information from your existing students and families and have that information connected to their DreamClass profiles.

For example, you may want parents to update their:

  • Home address

  • Phone number or email

  • Emergency contacts

  • Medical information

  • Other student or family details

Make sure you select the correct Form Type

When creating the form, select Information Update or Admission form.

This is very important: do not select Custom Form when requesting updates from existing families.

A Custom Form is designed for collecting standalone information and responses. Information submitted through a Custom Form will not update or be captured within the student's profile.

An Information Update Form, on the other hand, is specifically designed for existing students and families. It allows the information you request to be associated with the correct student or guardian profile.

Before sending an Information Update Form

Because Information Update Forms are intended for families who are already enrolled in your school, parents/guardians must log in to their DreamClass portal to access and complete the form.

Before sending your form, make sure that:

  • The student and guardian profiles already exist in DreamClass.

  • The guardian profiles have been activated.

  • The guardians have access to their DreamClass portal.

Once these steps are complete, you can send the Information Update Form and parents can log in and provide the requested information.
