Creating student groups using a CSV file allows you to quickly organize and manage large sets of students in Classic. This method is perfect for uploading many students in one go, saving time and ensuring accuracy. Follow the steps below to prepare and upload your CSV file.
If you need a refresher on creating student groups, check out this article 👈🏻; it will guide you through the process step by step.
- From the left-hand menu, navigate to the Groups tab.
- Click the + New button to create a new group.
- Choose the option to upload a CSV file.
-
In your CSV file, make sure the first row includes a field titled “id”. Our system will use this to search for and match students.
💡 Note: When matching student IDs from your CSV file, our system follows the priority order below: SchoolStatus Internal ID (highest priority) > State ID > SIS ID. If multiple IDs are present, the system will use the highest-priority match available.
-
As your file is being uploaded, you’ll see a dashboard displaying the total number of students in the file, how many were successfully added (Valid), and how many failed (Not Found).
-
A progress bar will appear below to track progress.
If a student ID shows as Not Found, first double-check that it’s entered correctly in your file. If the ID is correct, contact your school administrator or our support team for assistance.
-
Successfully added students will appear in the Members box on the right.
Once you have created a group, you can make the group visible for Notify Messaging.👈🏻
