Contact Management
Overview of Contact Management
The Contact Management section in Lazarus is your hub for storing and managing all guardian and student contact information. It serves as the foundation for everything from enrollment applications to tuition billing and communication workflows.
This is one of the core areas of your Lazarus account and is often the first step when onboarding new families into your system.
Two Tabs: Guardians and Students
The Contacts page is divided into two main tabs:
- Guardians – These are typically adults responsible for the student. They are the primary point of contact for communication, billing, and applications.
- Students – These are the enrolled or prospective children who are associated with one or more guardians.
Each tab allows you to:
- View a list of existing records
- Search for contacts
- Create new entries
- Edit existing profiles
Why This Matters
Having accurate and up-to-date contact records ensures:
- Correct linking between students and guardians
- Smooth application and billing processes
- Reliable delivery of communications like emails, reminders, and alerts
- Better support during events like student re-enrollment, address changes, or family updates
What You Can Do Here
From the Contact Management page, you can:
- Add new guardians and students
- Edit or update contact information
- Search for existing records
- Link guardians and students
- Track address and phone number changes
- Prepare for application intake and tuition billing workflows
