Google Contacts

Google Contacts is the Google web-based contact manager and personal address book. You can create, organize and share contact information with other G Suite users.

How do I import contacts for the students and staff at my school?

You no longer can import your staff or student's email address into your Google Contacts like before. They will be groups that are automatically generated through the nightly process. We have not started this process for students as of yet. You can always create a Google Sheet with student's email address by grade level and then import them into Google Contacts.

School distribution lists will continue to be populated nightly with all staff employed at the school location and additions managed by the principal via Role Access Delegation (RAD). Staff will be able to see that they are a member of their school’s list in Google Groups.

Additionally, when sharing Google Drive materials (Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.), you will be able to share with the list email address to grant access to everyone on the list instead of sharing the document to each person individually.

For example: to share a presentation with your school staff, you would share the document with sch-school-list@philasd.org.
