How do I add a new student?
Learn how to easily add a new student to your roster.
Note: If you are syncing with ClassLink or Clever, students will be added through the nightly sync.
From the left-side “Main Menu,” select “Students” to create new student accounts. Accounts can be created individually or upload a file to create many.
Users with PBIS Rewards Admin permission can add new students in the Web Portal.
- From the left-side “Main Menu,” select “Students” to create a student individually

Add New School User
- Use the + sign in the green circle near the top to add a student. Fill in the preferred student information for your school.
This may include “First Name,” “Last Name,” “Student ID,” “Grade,” “Gender,” “Ethnicity,” and “Email.” Click the green “Save” button to create a new student account. Gender, Ethnicity, and Email fields are optional.
Now that you have added the student to PBIS Rewards, that student can be added to any classes in a “Group.”

Create and Upload a File
Non-syncing schools will be able to upload students right on the student page as well. If you are syncing and need to upload students, you will need to use Secure Transfer.
To add multiple students at one time, use the secure transfer feature to send us a file. We can upload the students directly into PBIS Rewards for you. Please format a CSV file like the following example. If there are a significant number of additional students beyond your original group of students, the per-student usage fee may apply to the additional students.
