Introduction

When setting up a school for the first time with EdAlive the best way to get started is to Import a student list. This will set up all your Student Accounts and set up Classes that Teachers can then be allocated to.

Getting Started.

Stage 1

​    

Export student records from your Student Information/Management System to a CSV or Excel file which contains all Students to be imported to EdAlive Central, formatted as follows: 

1. First name (required) 
2. Last name (recommended) 
3. Student ID (recommended) 
4. Class (recommended) – New classes will automatically be created.
5. Password (optional) – if you would like to set each student’s password.
   

Stage 2

Press the Next button multiple times until you get to Step 2 and then select your import file and press the Next button. 

     

Stage 3

The system will automatically add Students accounts and create Classes. 

      

Stage 4

Review the new Classes that have been created and the Student Accounts that have been added to them and then press the Next button.

Stage 5

Check to see that changes are ready to apply. If you are happy with the update press the Save & Apply button.

     

Stage 6

Once the process is completed you will see the Manage Classes page where teachers can be added to their classes

    

Optional - Print Student Login cards

It’s a good idea to print Student Login Cards and a Class list for each Teacher from the View Class screen.
