Import Teachers From Last Year

To carry over teachers from last year, click teacher icon. The Import Teachers From Last Year window will open.

All teachers that were in the RCM last year will be listed. If a teacher was in RCM last year, and is already in the system for the current year, then that teacher will not be listed. Only teachers that were in the system last year and are not in the system for this year displayed.

Select the teachers you want to carry over to the current school year by clicking on their names. You can use the Select All and Select None buttons to aid in your selection.

When the teachers are selected as desired, click the Import X Teachers From Last Year button. After confirming the action, the import will begin. It won't take very long.

When you are done importing your teachers, close the Import Teachers From Last Year window.

Import Students From Last Year

To carry over students from last year, click student icon. The Import Students From Last Year window will open.

All students that were in the system last year, are listed. If the student is already in the system for the current year, then they will not be listed. Only students that are not in the current year, and were in the system last year are listed.

Select the students you want to carry over into the current school year by clicking their names. You can use the Select All and Select None buttons to aid in your selection.

If the Advance Grade Level checkbox is checked, all students will be advanced one grade level. For example, students that were assigned to grade 1 last year, will be advanced to grade 2 this year.

You can click on a student's teacher and change the class (teacher) that student will be assigned. If multiple students are selected, all students will be assigned to the selected teacher.

Only teachers that are assigned to the current school year are listed. If no teachers are listed, or the teacher you are looking for isn't included, add or import that teacher into the current school year's data and try again.

When the students are selected and defined as desired, click the Import X Students From Last Year button. After confirming the action, the import will begin.
