GAM-ADV Parent Sync?

[Kyle Hancock]

We are working on automating student rostering from our PowerSchool SIS into Google Classroom.

So far we have automated course syncing and rosters. Our final goal is to invite parents. I can create the invitates no problem but I'm wounding if there is any possibility a sync functionality would be built into GAM-ADV similar to the student and teacher sync?

Thanks!

Kyle

Kyle,

I'm not clear on what syncing you are looking for? Are you trying to automate the guardian invites?

Yes, sorry. We are trying to keep parent invites in sync with our SIS, just like we use GAM-ADV to keep course rosters in sync with our SIS.

Kyle,

Syncing in the Gam sense isn't what you want; you could certainly output a CSV file (let's call it StudentGuardians.csv) from the SIS with two columns: Student,Guardian

Then you could say:

gam csv StudentGuardians.csv gam create guardian ~Guardian ~Student

Yes, that is what we are doing. However parent emails change and we were looking for a way to keep them in sync with our SIS. Much like when a student syncs to a roster and students are added / removed accordingly. It may sound odd but with a student population of 3500 corresponding to a parent population of about 6000 having it automated makes it much cleaner.

@Kyle, this would require that you SIS exports first the deleted guardian email address, with student email, and then export the new guardian email with student email.

Without both those lines there's no way that GAM can "update" the guardian info, since GAM (today) can only create and delete guardians, not update.

[Ross Scroggs]

Kyle and I have worked onthis privately, here's what's coming in the next day or so.

Enhanced all guardian commands to support a syntax similar to other commands.

Added a command to clear all guardian invitations and accepted guardians for a student.

Added a command to sync guardians where the new set of guardians is specified in the command line

and Gam deletes any pending guardian invitations and accepted guardians that are not in the new set and sends

invitations to the members in the new set that don't have a pending invitation or have not accepted.

Multiple guardians can be specified in create, cancel, delete and sync.

Added formatjson option to gam show/print guardians; added quotechar <Character> option to gam print guardians.

    gam <UserTypeEntity> create|add guardian|guardianinvite|inviteguardian <GuardianEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEnfity> cancel guardianinvitation|guardianinvitations <GuardianInvitationIDEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEntity> delete guardian|guardians <GuardianEntity> [accepted|invitations|all]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> clear guardian|guardians [accepted|invitations|all]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> sync guardian|guardians <GuardianEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEntity> show guardian|guardians [accepted|invitations|all] [states <GuardianInvitationStateList>] [invitedguardian <EmailAddress>]

        [showstudentemails] [formatjson]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> print guardian|guardians [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*] [accepted|invitations|all] [states <GuardianInvitationStateList>] [invitedguardian <EmailAddress>]

        [showstudentemails] [formatjson] [quotechar <Character>]

Kyle,

Gam 4.61.00 is available.

Enhanced all guardian commands to support a syntax similar to other commands.

* Added a command to clear all guardian invitations and accepted guardians for a student.

* Added a command to sync guardians where the new set of guardians is specified in the command line

and Gam deletes any pending guardian invitations and accepted guardians that are not in the new set and sends

invitations to the members in the new set that don't have a pending invitation or have not accepted.

* Multiple guardians can be specified in create, cancel, delete and sync.

* Added formatjson option to gam show/print guardians; added quotechar <Character> option to gam print guardians.

    gam <UserTypeEntity> create|add guardian|guardianinvite|inviteguardian <GuardianEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEnfity> cancel guardianinvitation|guardianinvitations <GuardianInvitationIDEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEntity> delete guardian|guardians <GuardianEntity> [accepted|invitations|all]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> clear guardian|guardians [accepted|invitations|all]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> sync guardian|guardians <GuardianEntity>

    gam <UserTypeEntity> show guardian|guardians [accepted|invitations|all] [states <GuardianInvitationStateList>] [invitedguardian <EmailAddress>]

        [showstudentemails] [formatjson]

    gam <UserTypeEntity> print guardian|guardians [todrive <ToDriveAttribute>*] [accepted|invitations|all] [states <GuardianInvitationStateList>] [invitedguardian <EmailAddress>]

        [showstudentemails] [formatjson] [quotechar <Character>]

For example, your school SIS produces a CSV file, StudentGuardians.csv, each evening with two columns: Student,Guardian.

There is no indication as to what changes have been made from the night before. The following command will perform the necessary changes.

gam csvkmd users StudentGuardians.csv keyfield Student datafield Guardian sync guardians csvdata Guardian

Can I ask how you got Classroom syncing to work? Do you have it set to remove students from classes if they are taken out in the SIS?

[Ross Scroggs]

Jason,
