Before importing children, you'll need a CSV file with the correct format. Download the CSV template from the Children page (or below) to get started.
Expected Layout

Column | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
First Name | Yes | |
Last Name | Yes | |
Child ID | Yes | Unique identifier, used to match records on re-import |
Date of Birth | Yes | dd/mm/YYYY or dd-mm-YYYY format |
Gender | Yes | Male, Female, Non-binary |
First Nations Status | Yes | Yes, No, Unspecified |
Grade | Yes | Number |

Important: Use the same Child ID each time you import. The system matches records by this field, so if a Child ID changes, a duplicate will be created instead of updating the existing record.
