Spreadsheets for Schools

1) Who owns the spreadsheets?

You do. During onboarding you will create copies of our template spreadsheets so you are the owner, then you give us editing permissions through Google Workspace to add our formulas and scripts. Once set up, you can remove our access completely so nobody outside of your school/district has access to confidential student data. At all times you are in full control of your spreadsheets and the data contained therein.

2) How do the spreadsheets get our student data?

For security reasons, most district IT Directors do not allow third party access to their Student Information Systems. In these cases you will run reports from your SIS and import them into our applications.

3) What data do we need to import?

There is one Master Data spreadsheet with standard information about your students, such as names, ID numbers, classroom schedules, and parent email addresses. Each application pulls the specific data it needs from this Master Data spreadsheet, that way you only import this standard data once instead of importing into each separate application that you use.

5) What if our district uses Microsoft instead of Google?

A free basic Google Workspace account is sufficient for applications that merely process data.
