Within PowerSchool, you can export csv files and then send those files via SFTP to Visitor Aware.


Common PowerSchool exports that you will create for Visitor Aware are:

students.csv

visitors.csv
visitors_powerschool.csv

If you find each student/guardian relationship is exported as a new row from your student information system instead of multiple Student IDs comma-separated in the Students column, please use this template.

 )

Templates for the CSV files above( and more ) can be found in Visitor Aware on the Import Resources page.
