Student Buckets

Account administrators have the option of uploading all students in a school or district in a single, convenient upload. This is known as a Student Bucket. Select Add Student Bucket from the Account Administration page to download a sample CSV file. Once the spreadsheets have been completed and saved, administrators can upload them to their accounts themselves or email them to info@spellingcity.com and we will take care of the upload!

Once students have been uploaded via the Student Bucket method, account administrators can assign students to teachers by clicking Assign under Student Actions or allow teachers to select their students themselves from the Bucket themselves.

Account administrators can also select Manage Student Bucket to view students, edit student accounts, group students, delete students, or print student lists!

How do I upload the students in my school/district?

We recommend that account administrators use our Student Bucket Upload to create accounts for their students. This way, students can be shared among teachers and can be easily moved from one class to the other without creating a new account. To use this feature, on the Account Administration page, select Add Student Bucket. From here, you can download a sample CSV file to complete with your students' information. Please do not include any special characters (such as hyphens) or spaces in your students' usernames or passwords, as these will not be accepted by our system.

We recommend that administrators who wish to upload their own student buckets create separate CSV files for each grade and upload them into separate buckets. This makes account management much simpler. If you'd like, you can save your completed Student CSV file and email it to info@spellingcity.com, and we'll handle the upload for you!
