Moving your school’s data to a new system

A safe, step-by-step plan for data migration.

By the Ghosla editorial team·Updated ·6 min read
Quick answer

Move school data safely by exporting students, parents, staff, classes and dues, cleaning duplicates and inconsistent names once, importing into the new system, checking totals such as students per class and fee dues, and keeping old records available for a few weeks.

Key takeaways
  • Export everything you have
  • Clean duplicates and names once
  • Import, then check totals
  • Keep the old records for a few weeks

Collect what you have

Export students, parents, staff, classes, fee structures and pending dues from your current system or Excel sheets.

Clean it once

Remove duplicates, fix phone numbers and make class and section names consistent. Clean data now saves problems later.

Import and check

Import into the new system, then check totals: number of students per class, total fee dues and staff count should match.

Run both for a short time

Keep the old records available for a few weeks while staff get comfortable with the new system.
