As a district administrator, you are responsible for loading your schools, 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: Schools, staff, classrooms, then students.
Staff can be added in the following ways:
In bulk with a manual CSV file upload process
By third-party rostering, such as Classlink, which is available to premium and essentials Yeti Academy users.
By individual staff upload
By teacher self-registration (in which staff create their own usernames and passwords as they enroll into your school).
CSV
There are two methods of uploading your staff using a CSV file. Sample CSV templates are available wherever the uploading of staff 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).
Method 1:
You can upload your staff via CSV file by selecting the Management tab from your Dashboard.
Then, you'll see the Data Import Tool. Select View Tool.
Then, select Upload Your Staff.
From here, you will be directed to upload your CSV file.
Method 2:
You can upload your staff via CSV file by selecting the Staff tab from your dashboard.
Then, select the + Staff button.
Now, select Import Staff.
From here, you will be directed to upload your CSV file.
Individual Staff Upload
You can add your staff one at a time to your district so that you can assign them a classroom.
You can add your staff by selecting the Staff tab from your dashboard.
Then, select the + Staff button.
Then, select Add Individual Staff.
Now, you can fill out the webform to add a single staff member.
Teacher Self-Registration (School Code Required)
There are two steps required to enable teacher self-registration with a class code. First, you will need to enable a self-registration link on your account's unique login page.
To do this, select the Settings tab from your dashboard.
Then, select your District Portal tab.
Scroll all the way down until you see a checkbox under Sign up Options - select Allow Teachers Sign up. The school code (which will be different on your account!) is the code that they will sign in with.
When your staff members navigate to your school's Yeti Academy page, they will see an option for Teacher Self-Registration. Click the Teacher Self-Registration button.
Third-Party Rostering
If you are a Premium or Essentials User, you can roster your district-level account using a third-party rostering system like Classlink. (For those of you using Clever, additional fees may apply if your district is less than 500 students). To begin the setup process, select the Management tab from your Dashboard.
Then, select the appropriate tool.
From here, you'll be directed to contact support@yetiacademy.com to finalize the details of your integration.
When you're finished, hit Save.
Here's a short video to explain the process:
