On student, staff and guardian profiles, you can see a section for User Defined Fields, so your school can track extra custom bits of information. You can see how these can be set up and edited in bulk here: Setting up and managing User Defined Fields (UDFs)
Permissions
The permission to view input data into UDFs on profiles will depend on what your school has chosen during the setup of the UDF.
If your school hasn't set permissions for a UDF, you'll need either the General Admin: Administer or User Defined Fields: Setup permissions.
If you don't have the ability to edit a UDF, contact your office staff. They'll be able to check whether you should be able to access the UDF based on your permissions, then they can follow this guide to give you the right permission.

You can also jump to it using the drop-down menu.
