The academic year tag and what it controls
Quick answer: Every currently enrolled family is tagged with the academic year (for example, enrolled 26/27). This tag is how the rest of Growth Suite knows which families are active.
Why it matters
Growth Suite needs a way to know which families are currently enrolled versus past families. The academic year tag does that. Smart lists, dashboards, and automated communications all filter on this tag so they only act on currently-enrolled families.
When the tag changes
At the start of each new academic year, your team applies the new year's tag to returning families. Most schools keep the previous year's tag too, as a history marker — a family tagged enrolled 23/24, enrolled 24/25, and enrolled 25/26 has three consecutive years of enrollment visible at a glance.
