Manage Caseload Help
Last updated: Oct 17, 2026

Use Manage Caseload to request that a student be added to or removed from your assigned caseload. District users with Administrator-level access review these requests. Submitting a request does not immediately change your assignments.

Show Me — Open Manage Caseload
In SIRAS, select Student Info → Manage Caseload. If you already have the student you want to remove open, keep that student selected before opening Manage Caseload.

Contents

1. Open Manage Caseload

  1. Open the Student Info menu.
  2. Select Manage Caseload. Its position in the menu varies depending on whether a student record is currently selected.

2. Request to Add a Student

Use this route when a student is missing from your caseload. You can open Manage Caseload without selecting a student first.

  1. In Manage Caseload, choose the Role you are requesting for this student.
  2. Search for the student using the SSID or the student's name and date of birth.
  3. Select Find Matching Records.
  4. If the correct student appears, select Request Assignment beside that record.

Select a role, enter the student's identifying information, and find matching records.
Example of the Request Assignment control in Manage Caseload
Use Request Assignment for the matching student.
No matching student record? The request may also alert district staff that a new record is needed. The request does not create the student record automatically. Your district SPED clerk must verify the situation and take the appropriate action.

3. Request to Remove a Student

Start with the student's record when possible. This makes it easier to identify the correct student for the removal request.

  1. Find and open the student you want removed from your caseload.
  2. Go to Student Info → Manage Caseload.
  3. Follow the removal-request options shown for that student.

If you opened Manage Caseload without a student selected, SIRAS displays a no student selected message. Use its link to search for the student by name or ID, select the correct record, and continue the removal request.

If no student is selected, use the on-screen link to locate the record.
Important: This is a request to change your caseload assignment, not a request to delete the student record from SIRAS.

4. After You Submit a Request

Your request is available for review by district users with Administrator-level access. If the administrator approves an assignment request, you receive a message when the assignment is completed.

If you still cannot find the student, first confirm that the request was approved and that you are viewing the appropriate assigned-student scope. See How to Find Individually Assigned Students or Search Help.
