  1. Go to Parents in the sidebar, click Add Parent, and choose Bulk Upload from the dropdown.

    The Add Parent dropdown with Bulk Upload highlighted

  2. Drag in a CSV or Excel file. Columns can be named however you like, in any order — Edumintor matches them automatically and lets you review the mapping before committing. Download the template first if you're unsure of the expected columns.

  3. Review the column mapping and the preview table, then click Import [N] Parents.

    The Review step: column mapping and a preview of the rows

  4. Edumintor creates each parent record right away and shows how many were created.

  5. Fix any row-level errors in your source file and re-upload just the problem rows — successfully-imported rows won't be duplicated.

⚠️ Note — Unlike bulk-uploading teachers, this does not create a login for each parent. Bulk upload only creates the parent records. To give a parent access to the app, open their profile and use Sending a Parent's Login Setup Email individually.

💡 Tip — To link a bulk-uploaded parent to their child, upload the students afterward via Bulk-Uploading Students and include a column with the parent's email or phone number — Edumintor matches it to the parent you just created.
