# Create Student

> Create a student account (name, subjects, phone, address, placement) and optionally a linked
parent. `email` is optional (omit → no-email placeholder account, invite later); when a real
email is present and `send_invite` (default true) is set, emails a set-password link. Cross-org
placement targets return 404.
