This guide takes you through the complete process: registering your district, creating your admin account, and setting up your first app integration.  **Important**: Multi-District Email Restrictions  If you manage multiple districts in SchoolDay: - **You must use a unique email address for each district.** You can't reuse the same email address. This system requirement ensures strict data isolation. - **Use email aliases if needed**. You can use the "plus" sign (+) to create unique addresses that route to the same inbox. Examples: - Correct: `yourname+district1@school.edu` and `yourname+district2@school.edu` - Incorrect: Using `yourname@school.edu` for both districts ### Register your district 1.
