MiSiS Announcements:

LAUSD Student Photo Portal

As a reminder, only the Principal and/or Assistant Principals may assign a new or extend access to an existing Photo Vendor for the school in the LAUSD Photo Portal. Providing access to the photo vendor allows the vendor representative to upload student photos for use in MiSiS. If the photo vendor does not have access to the Photo Portal for the school, the photo vendor will still be able to send the photos to the school site for a school staff member to upload, as a designee.

For information on providing photo vendor and/or school staff designee access to the Photo Portal, please refer to the Granting Access to Photo Vendors and Designee job aid on the MiSiS website.
