You must have ion district administrator privileges in order to perform this task.
ion is able to import several types of SIS data. The district is responsible for formatting and validating data in a way that ion can import.
New districts should upload csv files to secure.ion-k12.com (Username and Password is in the Implementation document), then notify the support team by putting a ticket in on freshdesk, or by emailing [email protected]
After the support team has verified that the data is correct, the district may schedule a daily sFTP - sftp.ion-k12.com. The Username and Password will be provided once the initial data is validated through support.
Currently supported imports can be found here with instructions, example, and template:
