Overview
This article explains how to delete a student and all of their data from your cohort.
Deleting a student differs from what you should do if a student leaves school. When a student leaves, set their status to Left School. They will not show in your reports, but their grade data will still be stored for future reference (as needed), or, for example, if they were to return to the school. See Sisra Analytics: What do I do when a student leaves the school? (Admin) for further information.
