Add students and import your roster

The roster is every student in your school. Owners and admins build it. Teachers cannot add students; they see only the students in their own classes.

Import a CSV

1. In the rail, open Classes. Under Setup, click Import roster.
2. Under Upload a CSV, choose your file and click Preview. Columns can be in any order: student_first, student_last, grade, classroom, sis_id, guardian_name, guardian_email, guardian_phone, sms_consent, relationship. Only a student first name is required.
3. Read the preview. It counts new students, students with changes, guardian emails, and students with no family linked. It also lists any row problems.
4. To send families their family page link, tick Email the new families their family page link. It is off unless you tick it.
5. Click Apply import and confirm.

Add one student

1. On the Homeroom page, fill in Add a student: first and last name, grade, homeroom, and if you like, date of birth and school ID.
2. Click Add student. If someone with that name is already on the roster, you are warned. Tick Add anyway, this is a different student only if it really is a different child.

Good to know

• Import again any time. Students match on school ID, or on name plus a guardian email, and update in place.
• Files must be under 5 MB. A preview expires after an hour.
• A row with no guardian email still adds the student, but no family is linked. Add a guardian_email column and upload again.
• To withdraw a student, use Withdraw a student on the Homeroom page. Pick the Last day and click Withdraw student. They leave every class and turn inactive. Their grades and report cards stay on file.
