The Street Address Management page (School Info > Street Address Management) can be used to quickly display a list of students and their associated addresses and any address issues. It offers the ability to easily edit addresses from this screen as well.



The Address Search tab offers the ability to search for and display addresses and issues. Keep/skip queries are honored on this page. The address search tab can be utilized even if not using address validation. Search options include With Issues or All Addresses, the address type (Residence, Mailing, or All), and limits by city, street number range, street name, and zip code. Under Include, inactive students, student photos, and census blocks can be shown. Under Exclude, students with an invalid next school, invalid school of residence, invalid grid code, or selected inter-district transfer codes can be left out. Up to 3,000 results are displayed.


NOTE: The With Issues option also lists students whose addresses have never been validated.


The Functions tab allows for a Mass Validate process, which will validate all student Residence addresses in the current school or district. By default, inactive students and students with the Address Verified flag are skipped. Keep/skip queries are honored. Students with no residence address are counted as not valid. It also has options to mass update the Next School or Residential School fields. Depending on district settings, these mass update options may not be available. The first time this page is used, it is recommended to run the Mass Validate process. This validation process utilizes existing address validation methods utilizing the Streets table. 


NOTE: If using the Mass Update options, the mass updates will occur before the validation occurs so that address issues are accurately recorded.




Address issues are stored in the Address Validation Issues (STU.AVI) field, and the date the address was last valid is stored in the Address Valid Date (STU.AVD) field. These fields can be queried as needed. The data from these fields are also displayed on the Student Demographics page. The Address Verified Flag (STU.AV) is an optional checkbox that is utilized to mark the student's current address as manually verified for accuracy. This is skipped by default when running the Mass Validate process. 


NOTE: If a date is populated in the STU.AVD field, the address is considered "valid" according to the Streets table. If a date is populated, no address validation issue messages will display, even if there is data in that field. 


It is recommended that the Mass Validate All button be run with the default options if this is the first time using this page.

For Texas districts, the Functions tab also allows for Census Block Group Management. Census Block Check fills in Census Block numbers for students who do not already have one, using the student’s Residence address. By default, it is limited to economically disadvantaged students (FRE.CD = F, R, or X); clear the Limit to Economically Disadvantaged students option to include all students. Census Block Reset clears Census Block numbers. If run at the school level, only students at that school are processed; if run at the district level, all students are processed. Both functions honor Keep/Skip queries, run in the background, and send an email when complete.




NOTE: The first time Census Block Group is populated, clear all existing data using the Census Block Reset button for all students.


To utilize this page, users will need permissions to update addresses (Update permission to STU, or to Address History (ADH) if the district requires Address History Update to change student addresses). Additionally, the Functions tab is only available to those users who have Mass Update permission to the STU security area.


After running the Mass Validate process, the user will receive an email with a count of addresses processed and errors. 


NOTE: Not all errors should be of concern. For example, a student on an intra-district transfer would likely show an error since their address is not within the school boundaries. These students can be left out of the results by selecting their inter-district transfer codes under Exclude (IntDist) on the Street Address Management page.



For customers utilizing the Streets table, the following is a list of possible address related issues:

  • Address not found in the Streets table - This indicates that the address, or parts of the address do not match the streets table. This could include a misspelling in the street name, a street number not in range, or a street segment that matches more than one city
  • Address is in the enrollment area of {school name} - This issue displays when the current school is different than the school specified in the Streets table.


Also for the Streets table, these errors are generated only when mass validating, and not during individual validations. Additionally if the correct data can be determined, it will be displayed along with this error:

  • Invalid Next School - The Next School field (STU.NS) does not match the school specified in the Streets table for the grade students move up to after the highest grade at the current school. If the District Settings option Next School (STU.NS) is the next grade-level, not next matriculation-level is selected, the student’s next grade is used instead. If the correct next school can be determined, it will be displayed along with this error.
  • Invalid School of Residence - The Residential School field (STU.RS) does not match the school specified in the Streets table. If the correct residential code can be determined, it will be displayed along with this error.
  • Invalid Grid Code - The Grid Code field (STU.GC) does not match the grid code specified in the Streets table. If the correct grid code can be determined, it will be displayed along with this error.

The Invalid Next School, Invalid School of Residence, and Invalid Grid Code checks are only made when the address is found in the Streets table and is in the student’s enrollment area. Grid codes are flagged but are not updated by the mass update options.
