To begin sending weekly email reports to parents about their kid’s online activity on school-owned devices, you need to establish the parent-student relationship by uploading a CSV mapping parents and students.

You can upload the CSV either via the Admin UI or FTP*. If you choose to upload via the Admin UI, please follow the guidelines here.

To upload via FTP, you would first need to set up your FTP account.
