Street Name Abbreviations
(For SDUSD Attendance Staff only)

Because of the limitations of data entry screens, some street names are too long to be entered.  This page offers guidelines for abbreviation of long street names.  Please note that the information below pertains ONLY to school site data entry:  if you are using the Address Lookup Application, click here for help with street name spellings.

Remember that you must enter all the elements of a street address:

Number Direction Name Type Location* Apartment Zip
1234 N SMITH DR   #A 12345
* Location is infrequently used - e.g. Compass Point Drive S, rather than S Compass Point Drive.

Here are some abbreviations for common long street names.  To ensure consistent data entry across the district, please use these abbreviations if you cannot fit the street name into your data entry screen:

Street Name Abbreviation

BLACK MOUNTAIN BLACK MT
CARROLL CANYON CARROLL CYN
COWLES MOUNTAIN COWLES MT
EL CAMINO DEL TEATRO EL CAM DEL TEATRO
