Build the student data files by following the format indicated below.
Student (.txt or .csv)
This file identifies all enrolled students that will use Xello in grades K-12. It must include the CurrentSchoolCode and PreRegSchoolCode.
The student CurrentSchoolCode and PreRegSchoolCode will be the same in many cases. However, when a student is transitioning from Grade 8 to Grade 9, or if they're transferring schools, the CurrentSchoolCode indicates the student's elementary, middle (or sources) school, and PreRegSchoolCode indicates the high school location the student will attend next year.
