In FG 9 you will import information to create the necessary data relationships of teacher, class, and student. These data relationships must be established before you can use any features in the program, such as creating Fitnessgram test events and entering scores.
You will first need to download your Fitnessgram 9 file from your vendor (Infinite Campus, Power School, etc). Your vendor will provide you with instructions for downloading the file.◦ File name to request: Fitnessgram 9 Extract 2014
