Add pronouns to the user name format.

When staff see a student name, they should also know their preferred pronouns. No point in gathering this data if they have to go hunting for it! For example:

Bob Smith '24 (he/him)

    Hi all! We have decided not to add pronouns as a placeholder with the coming User name format enhancements. User name format (UNF) is referenced by many places in the system, and that is going to expand rapidly over the next year. Many places have a small and fixed area for displaying names. If we added pronouns after lengthy names, then we would run into an element of inconsistency where pronouns would display for some users and we would run out of space to show them for others.

    Instead of being equally bold and large with other name elements in UNF, we plan to make pronouns available for display in frequently accessed areas, like profile headers and in lists.

    My comment was related to Enrollment Managment System Header, specifically, so pre-enrollment too.

    Yes! Yes! Yes!

    I would like "pronouns" included in the hard formatted header so it is easily viewable for all without going to the contact card for each student. I agree with others comments to be able to turn off the inclusion for those school that wish to.


    Already in Header:

    Entering Year: 2024 - 2025

    Entering Grade: 2nd Grade - Lower School

    Current Age: 7 years, 3 months

    Current Grade: 1st Grade

    User Id: xxxx

    Add to Header:

    This fantastic! I am glad it is something that cannot be turned off.

    We also need the ability to completely remove pronouns from the system if we do not want/need them.

    This is a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing it. BB, please implement this ASAP. Teachers are asking for this and students want this is be visible as well.

    This is a great idea. Should definitely be something that schools could turn on or off.
