Changing the School Name with a non-School Loop Homepage

Overview

You may want to change your school name and your homepage is managed outside of School Loop (it has a non SL URL)

 

Information

This action needs District Administrator rights.

If we change the school name, since the school is having a non-SL homepage linked to it the URL, the domain name will be automatically be reset to a new one with the notation:

shortname-District-state.schoolloop.com

For example, cls-compton-ca.schoolloop.com

 

If you don't mind the URL changing to the above-mentioned format, you can go ahead and submit a request to change the name indicating the current name and the desired name for the school, and our agents will help you.

Since the school is currently using a homepage that is managed outside of School Loop, the change in the school name is not reflected on this website and the administrator of the said site will have to perform the necessary changes from their end in order to reflect the new name. 

Note that we can only accommodate adding Custom Domains that are owned by our customers and we cannot add/reassign new SL subdomains aside from the main URL  mentioned above. Also, adding a custom domain will make it so that the custom URL will redirect to the current website but the site will still show the current URL

 

If you don't want the URL to change to the above-mentioned format, then you need to request a new school site and, once it is created, copy the required content from the old site to the new one (the required content needs to be moved manually):

Once the content is saved or copied, submit a request to deactivate your old school site.
