Roster Cleaner

The Roster Cleaner & Name Formatter streamlines the tedious process of preparing class lists for digital tools, seating charts, and classroom displays. When teachers export rosters from Student Information Systems (SIS) like PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, or Google Classroom, the raw text is often cluttered with last names, district ID numbers, middle initials, and ALL-CAPS formatting. This tool instantly sanitizes messy list exports into clean, standardized student names with a single click.

To clean your roster, paste your raw text or spreadsheet column into the input box. Use the simple toggle options to customize your output: convert "LAST, FIRST" formatting into "First Name Only" or "First Last," strip out numbers and bullet points, remove middle initials, and fix irregular capitalization. The list of names will automatically show in the "Cleaned list" box. It will generate a neat, line-by-line list ready to be copied directly into your group generators, name pickers, or printable labels.

Beyond saving prep time, the Roster Cleaner serves as a practical student privacy tool. Stripping sensitive details—such as full legal surnames and official ID numbers—creates display-safe rosters that are secure to project on interactive whiteboards or post around the room. Because all text formatting happens entirely client-side in your web browser, student data stays confidential and is never stored or transmitted to external servers.
