8. Check the sync results
After the sync is complete, please check the sync reports or verify that staff, students, classrooms, and parents/guardians are added to the District and School Directories and Classroom pages.
9. Clean up student data
There are two main parts to cleaning up the student data. They are:
- Archiving students who are not part of the sync.
- Merging student duplicates. It helps to have all student data (announcements, backpacks, interaction logs, student attributes, other) linked to a single student vs spread across multiple students.
If you only sync one school, please archive students from the School Directory.
If you sync all schools in your district, you can archive students from the District Directory.
If you sync some but not all schools in a district, please archive students from the School Directory, and then repeat it for every syncing school.
You can feel free to select and archive all students in the Directory. If your sync is enabled, the sync-managed students won't get archived. Meaning that you'll only archive students who are not part of the sync.
Please see this article for more information on how to archive students.
To merge student duplicates, please follow the steps in this article.
You are all set once all 9 steps are completed! Please do not hesitate to reach out to our Support Team at connectsupport@schoolstatus.com if you experience any issues or have any questions related to these steps.
