Add Contacts to a School

Adding contacts at the school level connects the right people—such as Principals and Teachers—to all programs running in that school or site.
Principals can view program activity and, if enabled by the implementing organization, volunteer information like Vulnerable Sector Checks, interview summaries, or bios.
Teachers can access shared GrandPals resources and be linked to specific programs later.
