CMS Widget - Students with Households Directory

Posted September 25, 2026

The CMS Widget - Students with Households Directory lists students on a portal page with their grade level, email and phone, their household address, and each parent's name, phones, emails, education and employment. The widget can be found within the Directory group. Please review Adding CMS Widget for more information.

The directory lists one row per student and household, so a student who belongs to two households that are shown appears once for each household. Parents with a deceased date are not listed. Visitors search with two search rows, which open on Student Last Name and Student Grade Level, and choose to show 10, 25, 50, 100 or all students per page. A speaker icon next to the student name plays the student's name pronunciation when one has been recorded.

Show Households Type determines which students and households appear in the directory.

  • Publish On Web Only lists only students whose household has Publish on online directory checked, with the details of those households.
  • All Households lists every student with the details of every household, published or not.
  • All Students Published Households Only lists every student and shows household details only for households with Publish on online directory checked. A student whose households are all unpublished appears once, with Not Published in the first parent column and no address, household phone, household email, parent details or parent pictures.

Note: With All Students Published Households Only, a search on a household field such as Parent, Parent Email, Carpool or City matches only published households.

Divisions limits the directory to students enrolled in the selected divisions for the current school year. When no division is selected, students from every division appear.

Excluded Substatuses leaves out students who have any of the selected substatuses.
