How to include a disclaimer that names have been changed in PS

Hello!

Is there a good format you can suggest to use to let AdComs know names have been changed in my PS? I am a teacher and I reference a student and a colleague but I of course use pseudonyms. Should I put something at the top of the page or bottom? Add an asterisk next to the names?

Thanks!

    I changed the names in mine to acceptable basic pseudonyms, such as "Jane Doe," "John Smith" etc. You can also include a footnote as well.

    Maybe a line like "a student I will call so-and so for reasons of confidentiality." Or (not his/her real name).

    I think I will just include a footnote. My writing style is fairly immersive when I introduce the child and colleague so I don't want to do anything that would be distracting or remove the reader too much from the story. Thanks guys!
