How to assign grade levels when adding new members

Manually adding and assigning via CSV

  1. Check that your CSV is in the correct format

    Before you get started, take a look at your CSV file.

    Here are some things to keep in mind:

    • Flint can recognize flexible column names, so `grade_level`, `grade`, `grades`, or `grade_levels` all work.

    • Grade level values are also quite flexible, as you can see in the example above. You can format grades using their:

      • Full name: `Kindergarten`, `1st Grade`, `Pre-K`

      • Grade codes: `KG`, `01`, `02`, `PK`

      • Single digits: `1`, `2`, `3` (for grades 1–9)

      • Ordinals: `1st`, `2nd`, `3rd`, `11th`

      • "Grade N" format: `Grade 1`, `Grade 5`, `Grade 12`

    • For multiple grades, separate with semicolons (`;`) or pipes (`|`). For example: `K;01;02` or `K|1|2`.

    • Make sure that your file is a .csv file. Flint will not be able to read PDFs or Excel files.

  2. Click "Settings and Members"

Frequently asked questions on grade levels in Flint

How do I make sure a student hasn't been assigned multiple grade levels?

If any students or unassigned members have been assigned multiple grade levels, you will be notified on the member dashboard.

When you click "See members with multiple grade levels," you will see a list of members who fall into this category.
