Adding Schools (District Administrator)

How to add schools via CSV file or by individual upload.

Written by Niki Frisby

As a District Administrator, you are responsible for loading your schools, staff, classrooms and students into Typing Agent. The most efficient and error-proof way to get your school's data set up is to load them in this order: Schools, staff, classrooms, then students

Schools can be added in the following ways:

  • In bulk with a manual uploaded CSV file.

  • By individual school upload

  • Through a third-party rostering system such as Clever or ClassLink
    ​

CSV Document

(Note: In order to format correctly, CSV files needs to be saved as a UTF-8 encoded file.)
​
There are two methods of uploading your schools using a CSV file. Sample CSV templates are available wherever the uploading of schools is permitted. They detail the information required to complete each column to have a successful upload.

Note: the program accepts letters, numbers, and the special characters _ (underscore), - (dash), and @ (at).
