      Requirements

      • If email addresses synced into SchoolDay from the Student Information System (SIS) match Google email addresses, then enable Google login. No further actions are required.

      • If email addresses from your SIS do not match Google email addresses, you should additionally sync your data from Google Workspace to SchoolDay.
