Use Add & Edit Students/Staff to find a student, update parent/guardian contacts or manage staff details.

Start here

1. Sign in to uniqueschoolapp.ie.
2. Open Administration → Add & Edit Students/Staff. In the newer dashboard, this is labelled Manage MIS List.
3. Select Students or Staff from the left menu.
4. Search for the person, then click the Edit pencil beside their record.
5. Make your changes and select Save Changes.

Parent and guardian contacts

Open the student’s Edit form, then find Primary Guardian or Secondary Guardian.

• Edit or remove a parent/guardian contact — change contact details, replace the primary contact or remove a secondary guardian. At least one contact must remain.
• Change a guardian’s mobile number — includes the steps the parent needs to relink afterwards.
• Parent cannot see their child? — check the guardian link.

If the banner says students are missing guardian details, select View to find them. Parents need the correct contact details recorded before they can register.

Add or update a student

• Tyro or VSware schools: add students and maintain their school-managed details in Tyro or VSware. Allow up to two hours for new students to appear once their details are available to Unique Schools. Do not create another record while waiting.
• VSware: student ID, name, year and class transfer. Add guardian details separately for new students who do not already have them. Existing guardian details do not need to be entered again each year.
• Schools without a connection, including Primary, Third Level and Compass: select Add Student, complete the student and guardian details, then select Add Student to save. Use Edit for later changes.

If a student field is greyed out, update it in the school system that controls it. Contact support if you need help getting a change to appear.

Incoming or transfer students: you can add these before their final year/class is assigned. Use the appropriate Incoming or Transfer year and class. If those options are missing, contact support before adding the record.

Add or update a staff member

1. Select Staff and search first to avoid duplicates.
2. For a new record, select Add Staff and complete the required details.
3. For an existing record, select Edit, correct the details and select Save Changes.

Tyro schools: new staff details are initially imported from Tyro. If an imported staff member’s name or mobile number changes later, update it in both Tyro and Unique Schools. Updating Tyro alone will not correct the existing Unique Schools record.

VSware and non-connected schools: add and maintain staff details directly in Unique Schools.

Removing someone or need help?

To remove a guardian, use the contact guide above. Do not delete the student to remove a parent.

For a student who is leaving, see How to Remove a Student from Unique Schools.

If you cannot find the right option, email staffsupport@uniqueschools.ie.
