As a standalone single school administrator, you are responsible for loading your classrooms, staff, and students into Yeti Academy. The most efficient and error-proof way to get your school's data set up is to load them in this order: Classrooms, then teachers, then students.
Students can be added in the following ways:
In bulk with a CSV file
Through Google Classroom
By a single student upload
By student self-registration (in which students create their own usernames and passwords as they enroll into your classroom).
CSV
There are three methods of uploading your students via a CSV. While all will result in the same outcome of your students being uploaded, sample CSV templates and details on the exact data required can be found wherever you find the opportunity to upload the students.
(* Note: the program accepts letters and numbers, and the special characters _(underscore), -(dash), and @(at).)
Method 1:
First, go to your Management tab.
Then, you'll see the Data Import tool. Select View Tool.
Then, select 3: Upload Your Students.
From here, you'll be directed to upload your students via a CSV file.
Method 2:
You can upload your students via CSV by selecting your Students tab.
Now, select the + Students button.
From here, select Import Students.
From here, you will be directed to upload your CSV file.
Method 3:
You can upload your students via CSV by classroom only by navigating to your Classes tab in your Dashboard.
Then, select the classroom you'd like to add students into.
From here, select the blue + icon with the student beside it.
Now, select Import Students.
From here, you will be directed to upload your CSV file.
Syncing with Google Classroom
If you have added a classroom via Google Classroom and imported your students, you can add a singular student from your classroom by syncing.
First, navigate to your Classes tab from your Dashboard.
Then, select the tab that contains the class you're syncing with Google Classroom.
Once you're there, you'll select the Sync With Classroom button.
This will add any new students from your Google Classroom.
Single Student Upload
You can add your students one at a time to either your classroom directly, or into Yeti Academy if you have not decided which class they need to be in. If this is the case, they will be found in your Unassigned students category until you enroll them into a class. (Note: To find these students, you can select your Students tab, then click the filter button to filter for Unassigned Students.)
Adding Student Into Classroom
First, navigate to your Classes tab in your Dashboard.
Then, select the classroom you'd like to add students into.
From here, select the blue + icon with the student beside it.
Now, select Add A Single Student.
Now, you can fill out the parameters to add a Single Student into the class.
Adding Student to School (Non-Classroom Specific)
First, select your Students tab.
Now, select the + Students button.
Select Add Single Student.
Now, you can add a single student.
Block Student Upload
You can also add multiple students at once directly into a class by uploading them in bulk.
(*Please note: creating a block of students will give them all the same username and password and once assigned, will append a unique number to the end of each username. You can allow them to update their First Name and Last Name and/or Password upon their first log-in. This method is convenient for creating multiple accounts at once without needing to be too specific on student details.)
First, navigate to your Classes tab in your Dashboard.
Then, select the classroom you'd like to add students into.
From here, select the blue + icon with the student beside it.
Now, select Add A Block of Students.
Now, you can fill out the parameters to add a block of students into the class.
Student Self Registration (Class Code Required)
There are two steps required to enable student self-registration with a class code.
First, you will need to enable a self-registration link on your accounts' unique login page.
To do this, navigate to your Settings tab.
Then, select School Portal.
Scroll all the way down until you see a checkbox under Sign up Options - select Allow Student Sign up. When finished, hit Save.
Now, navigate to your Classes tab on your Dashboard.
Then, select the classroom you'd like to add students into.
From here, select the blue + icon with the student beside it.
Then, select Add Students with Class Code.
From here, you will see that Class Code is by default, disabled. All you need to do is press Enable.
You can edit this class code or leave it as is - but this code is what students will sign in with.
When your students navigate to your school's Yeti Academy page, they will see an option for Student Self-Registration.
This is where they will register, enter this code, and enroll into your class.
