[Enhancement] Pre-Registration: Contacts- Updated "Add Other Contact" to "Add Other/Emergency Contact".

[Enhancement] Custom Forms and Pre-Registration: Notifications and Permissions have undergone major upgrades! In order to improve user experience, we have made changes to the way permissions work for Custom Forms and Pre-Registration in Illuminate, as well as added new in-app and email notifications for Illuminate Admins and Parent Portal users.

[Enhancement] Demographics: State Reported Race- Allows users to see what state reported race category a student falls into according to federal guidelines. We also have a “Reported Race” filter for Student Search 2.0, under Advanced Demographics!
Fix:
[Fix] Online Registration: Incorrect Grade Level Default displaying in Pre-Registration. Previously, the birthdate would not trigger a recommended grade level, but show all the of the grade levels available for pre-registration (based on your windows) and default to the lowest grade at the site.
A fix has been made where a parent cannot move forward in submission (which will definitely lower duplicates) without manually selecting a grade level to confirm their request.
