Here are the steps to manually download your ParentSquare files as a zip file. This will provide 5 separate files: parents.csv, rosters.csv, schools.csv, sections.csv, staff.csv, and students.csv. To see more detail about what is in each file, jump to the File Descriptions below.
You may also push the files manually to ParentSquare if you need to. BigSIS will provide an automated nightly sync for your data but if you have made changes and would like to push those updates manually you may due so.
Follow the below steps to download the files or push the to ParentSquare manually.
- Go to People > Other > ParentSquare Zip Download.
(Right-click and "Open image in new tab" to enlarge)
- Click Download to download the zip file. To push the files, click Push Files to ParentSquare. This will push each of the files provided in the zip file to ParentSquare.
NOTE: This may not take effect immediately and may take a short amount of time to sync with ParentSquare.
