Import a class roster
Skip the typing — bring your whole class in from a CSV exported by your student information system.
Supported exports
CommunATI auto-detects columns from common SIS exports including PowerSchool, Maplewood, and Edsby. Any CSV with student names (and optionally parent emails) works.
Steps
- Go to Class → Import roster and upload the CSV.
- Check the column mapping — CommunATI guesses, you confirm.
- Review the preview: new students, matched students, and anything skipped.
- Confirm. Re-running the same file is safe — students already added won't be duplicated.
What gets created
- A profile for each student and their class membership.
- Optional parent invitations, queued to send if you included parent emails.
