Exporting to Excel
Exporting to Excel
After reviewing your placement results, you can download the final classroom lists as an Excel (XLSX) file. This makes it easy to share placements with teachers, administrators, and other staff.
Downloading Your Results
To export your placement result:
- Navigate to the results page for the placement you want to export.
- Click the Download Excel button.
- The file will be saved to your device as an
.xlsxfile.
XLSX export is available on Pro. Free users can still view placement results in Shibutz, but the export button shows an upgrade prompt instead of creating a spreadsheet.
What's Included in the Export
The exported spreadsheet contains:
- Student name— each student's full name.
- Assigned classroom — the classroom the student was placed into.
- Gender— the student's recorded gender.
- Scale scores — social, emotional, behavioral, and learning values.
- Origin school/group — the feeder school or group the student belongs to.
All data is organized in a single sheet with clearly labeled columns, so it's ready to use without additional formatting.
Excel Template for Importing Students
Shibutz also supports importing students from an Excel file. The import flow recognizes both the dedicated student template and the Students sheet inside a placement export, so you can:
- Reimport an exported roster into a new placement workspace.
- Fill in student data in a fresh spreadsheet using the template column headers.
- Upload the file on the Managing Students page to bulk-add students.
Export-only columns such as Class and Friends Count are ignored during import. The assigned classroom is not copied into the new workspace; you can generate a fresh placement after the roster imports.
This round-trip capability means you can prepare data offline, import it, and then generate a placement — all without manual data entry.
Sharing with Staff and Printing
The exported file is designed to be practical for school workflows:
- Email it — attach the XLSX to an email for teachers and grade-level coordinators.
- Print it — open in Excel or Google Sheets, adjust column widths if needed, and print directly. The single-sheet layout prints cleanly on standard paper.
- Filter by classroom— use Excel's built-in filter feature to view or print one classroom at a time.
- Archive it — save a copy of the export for your records. This serves as documentation of how classroom lists were formed for that school year.
