Student Photo

Registration > Maintenance > Student Photo

If set up by the LEA, student photos are displayed on all maintenance pages on which individual student records are retrieved. The photo is displayed once you click Retrieve.

Use the students’ ID numbers to name each image file.

  • The six digit code must match the student ID from ASCENDER (e.g., 081818.jpg or 123456.gif).
  • The picture file extension formats that are supported are .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, or .gif.
  • Aspect ratios of the images are preserved in ASCENDER.
  • Files should be less than 1MB and preferably under 100K.
  • You can upload individual student pictures on the Student Enrollment page of the Registration application.

Photos are not displayed in all applications. They are displayed in Attendance (Student Inquiry), Discipline, Grade Reporting, Graduation Plan, Health, Registration, and Scheduling. They are not displayed in Special Education or Test Scores.

NOTE: The initial student photo image files must be copied to a folder in a ASCENDER directory. (Note that directory will vary by server.) Within the ASCENDER directory, place files in a Pictures folder, and in a district folder (e.g., ASCENDER Directory\Pictures\cccddd\NNNNNN.jpg, where NNNNNN is the student's 6-digit student ID). If a Pictures folder does not exist, or if the district folder does not exist, photos will not be enabled on any pages. The ASCENDER Getting Started Guide (available with ASCENDER technical documents) provides additional information.
