Overview:
The Student Upload Tool is a tool which allows teachers to add multiple students to their class roster at once. Student rosters can be uploaded into ESGI using our provided template or an .xlsx or .csv file of your own! This feature is available to teachers only; however, it is important to note that it is not available to teachers in importing districts that have their rosters automatically imported into ESGI.
