Build the family data files by following the format indicated below.

Family (.txt or.csv)

This file identifies all parents or guardians that have a child who uses Xello in their school or college.

Each parent/guardian will be on a separate row.

Column Name Type Description
ParentFirstName char(100) Parent/guardian first name
ParentLastName char(100) Parent/guardian last name
Email char(100) Parent/guardian email address. This email address will be used as their Xello login.
Note: Parent/guardian accounts require an active email address. An empty email field or a default filler email address will prevent parent/guardian access.
StudentId char(15) Unique for the school or college (not just unique to the school). If this is not unique for the school or college, please inform your Onboarding Manager.
OPTIONAL COLUMNS
Phone char(20) The parent/guardian phone number
