2a. Adding students to your school from an Excel file

JumpRope relies on a school-wide roster that you enter in this step, and all students must exist in this roster before they can be enrolled in courses. If you're new to JumpRope or are beginning a new school year, it might be easiest to import your students from an Excel file. If you need to add a new student to the school, it may be simpler to type in the student's information manually instead.

Importing Students from an Excel File
