Standardizing School Name Entry

Former Member
Former Member $organization

Hi everyone,

Recent move to Tess is causing us to re-examine our data entry standards for school groups.

We're still struggling with a lot of this...

       St. Elizabeth School vs Saint Elizabeth School

       John Walsh Elementary vs Walsh, John Elementary

etc

Can anyone point me towards a good resource for naming conventions so we can standardize?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    I don’t have a resource for naming convention other than basic filing rules. The 2nd entry of the elementary school is in a fashion I have never seen. I would suggest that all named schools be entered exactly as they are stated as that is the way they would be filed. As for schools with St vs Saint, either is acceptable. However, the St is a space savor (especially for long school names). In my humble opinion, I would choose St ( a period is not required for mailing standards).

    You could just pick one way and add the alternative version in the Constituent’s profile under the Names (tab) -  Aliases (radio button).

    Once you determine the official naming conventions for mailings, you might consider adding an alias for some schools. San Diego School for Creative and Performing Arts could have an alias of sdcpa.
