The legal last name, gender and birth date are the three mandatory (of five) Matching Fields that the system uses to ensure that a student's record is not overwritten by another student's record. To make a change to any of those three fields, you must use one of the two remaining fields: Social Security Number (SSN) or District Student ID.
1.) Open the SSID record in Record Maintenance and click "Edit".
2.) Add a District Student ID. (Any number is fine. This number will only be used as a placeholder.)
3.) Save the record.
4.) Change the last name, gender or birth date. (NOTE: You can only change one.)
5.) Save the record.
6.)Remove the District Student ID.
7.) Save the record.
