If you're planning to import an existing roster into MyKidReports to get started more quickly, you're in the right place!
 

As an added service for new schools, MyKidReports will import your existing roster to save you time and help you get up and running faster. If you are transitioning to MyKidReports from another third-party system, please follow the relevant steps below to export your roster. No re-formatting is necessary—our team will handle everything else!
 

The preferred format for your roster is CSV or XLSX. These spreadsheet file types are universally recognized and help prevent potential errors that can occur when converting other file formats into a CSV.

1. Before exporting your ProCare file, please make sure that:

Your student list is up-to-date, and only the currently active students have an enrolled status. Please see below for a list of the ProCare statuses we process and what we upload them as in MyKidReports.


Please Note: MyKidReports will only upload students with an active status. Any withdrawn students or those without a status will not be imported to your MyKidReports account.
 

Ensure that the Relationship Type boxes are checked for all of the contacts associated with the active students. It is important for us to know the type of contact because of the various contact permission levels.

2. Open ProCare

Click on the Family Data & Accounting tab (located on the top of the screen), then click on Reports and select Data Viewer from the drop-down

3. Select Child Relationships, and on the right side of the screen, select today’s date in the As of Date field
