For our remote elementary pod, we cut re-enrollment headaches with a ‘one page per child’ record — DOB, language level, six anchor lessons, and one photo per work cycle exported from Transparent Classroom. On bilingual nomenclature, I alternate languages by day and keep each 3-card set single-language; love @LuisRamos’s color-edge idea, but I skip flags so we don’t lean on symbols over sounds — my brain thanks me later.

And airtable handled re-enrollment for us — one template per child with bilingual labels; free tier’s fine, time zones are rough, @Guide.
