Adding Parent and Guardian Contact Info by CSV

Guardian Management

Providing access to GoGuardian Parent requires GoGuardian Super Users to create and manage the Guardians' contact information, and their Relationships to students.

All uploaded Guardians will be enabled for GoGuardian Parent by default. Only upload Guardian CSVs containing Guardians/Relationships which are intended for immediate access to GoGuardian Parent.

NOTE: GoGuardian Parent is currently compatible with iOS versions equal to or newer than iOS 8 and Android version equal to or newer than Android Jelly Bean, v16, 4.1.x.

Linking contacts to students is a two-part process. Start by adding Guardians, followed by adding Relationships.

Users can be added one-by-one using the Add Guardian option, or they can upload a CSV of contact information using the Bulk Add/Update option. 

Within the Upload Guardians button are two tabs: Guardians and Relationships. Be sure to upload Guardians to the Guardians tab and relationships to the relationships tab.
