Setting Up CSR (Console Student Rostering)

  • Updated

Initial Upload of Students

  1. Log into your ST Math district super administrator account.
  2. Go to Settings > Student Roster to upload new files. (Make sure you are on the district and not the school settings page in order to upload the file.
  3. If it's the first time uploading a file, click "Get Started." 
  4. Click on the template to download the csv file with your student data (or use the one sent to you by ST Math when your district super admin account was created.)
  5. Once the file is updated, save it as a csv file to your computer. (Be sure to provide all the information, don't change the headings, and don't change the order of the required information.)
  6. Drag and drop or click the "Browse" button to find and upload your file.
  7. When you've uploaded the file, click "Scan". (Scanning can take a few minutes.)
  8. Look at the feedback after scanning the file. 
    • Correct any errors and try again if the file was unable to be processed.
      Click "Download Warnings Report" to see errors. If there are numerous errors, they may not all be listed.
    • The summary will show what the results of the file upload would be.  You can use 'Download Change Log' to see students that would be affected.
  9. If the results look good, select "Import Changes" to complete the import.  If they don't reflect the changes you wish, click "Cancel" and try again. 

 

Create Teacher Accounts 

Anyone with district or school super admin access can add new staff accounts to ST Math, and you will want to create teachers under each school in the district so that they can create classes and import students into those classes. For directions on how to do add teacher accounts, see How do I add new staff accounts?. (Make sure you are on the school and not the district settings page to add teachers. If you don't see the teacher's heading on the "Settings" tab, you're probably on the district settings page!)

Here's a video with the steps you need to follow to complete the creation of teacher accounts.

 

Subsequent Uploads of Students (to add or remove students after the initial upload)

To add or remove students from ST Math, it is important to download the most recent roster file  and make additions/deletions rather than starting with a blank template.  This helps ensure that current students keep their same accounts and account information (IDs, usernames, passwords). Only students in the file will have access to ST Math.

  1. Log into your ST Math district super administrator account.
  2. Go to Settings > Student Roster to upload new files. (Make sure you are on the district and not the school settings page in order to upload the file.
  3. Click "Download" to download the most recently processed file. (This should ensure that you aren't changing IDs or making other changes that will result in duplicate accounts or remove the accounts you already have.)
  4. Make any changes you need to the file.  Students added to the file will be added to ST Math to enable teachers to import to their class.  Students removed from the file will be removed from ST Math.
    • Removed students can be imported again later if they return to the district. As long as their student ID does not change, progress from this school year will be retained.
  5. Once the file is updated, save it as a .csv file to your computer. (Be sure to provide all the information, leave the headings, and don't change the order.)
  6. Drag and drop or click the Browse button to upload your file.
  7. When you've uploaded, click Scan. Scanning can take a few minutes.
  8. Look at the feedback after scanning the file.
    • If you receive notification that errors prevent the file from being processed, correct them and try again. (Check for duplicate ids, usernames, missing data in the file, passwords less than 6 characters long)
    • Some errors may not keep the file from being processed .  Click "Download Warnings Report" to see where they are and make corrections and rescan so that those students receive accounts.
    • The summary will show what the results of the file upload will be.  You can use"Download Change Log" to see exactly which students will be affected.
  9. If the results look good, select "Import Changes" to complete the import.  If they don't reflect the changes you wish, click "Cancel" and try again. Once changes have been imported, new students will then be available to import into classes.


Creating Classes and Linking Students

Teachers should create their class and import students before students start using ST Math.  For directions, see How do I create a class and add students (Console Student Rostering)?.

After classes have been created and populated, provide students with their username and password  to begin working on ST Math.

The district administrator responsible for rostering will need to provide teachers with the usernames and passwords from the uploaded student file in order for teachers to share student login credentials with their class.  Students will sign into ST Math at play.stmath.com by clicking the Student Sign-In button, selecting "Text Sign In",  entering their district-assigned username and password, and then they can begin playing!
