Import Student Data

Student records may be imported from a CSV file. Importing students is normally done once per year. Importing students at other times may corrupt your database. If you have created classes, the class field in the csv file must match exactly the class field you created for the import to work properly. Make a backup first if you are not sure.

Note: CSV file must have header record labels of ClassName, Teacher, Grade, StudentLastName, StudentFirstName, StudentExternalID
