How to add headers when creating csv file in python - python-3.x

Question

I am getting "raw" data from a csv file, and putting only what I need for a new csv file that will be used to auto add users to a different system...
I am unsure how to add the correct headers needed for the file.
I've tried looking at other examples of adding headers but have not figured this out yet...
The headers I need to add are as follows:
"ID Card Number","Name","E-Mail","User Level","Position","Status","Covered Under Insurance","Paid Insurance"
(and in that order)
import csv
def studentscsv():
with open('..\StudentEmails_and_StudentNumbers.csv') as csv_file:
csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',')
with open('mydirectory\student_users.csv', mode='w', newline='') as output_file:
write = csv.writer(output_file, delimiter=',', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
for row in csv_reader:
a = row[0]
studentnumber = row[1]
firstname = row[2]
lastname = row[3]
grade = row[4]
studentname = firstname + " " + lastname
studentemail = firstname + "." + lastname + "#mydomain.org"
status = "Active"
position = "Student"
covered = "Yes"
paid = "Yes"
write.writerow([studentnumber, studentname, studentemail, grade, position, status, covered, paid])
def main():
"""
Controls the program execution
:param in_file: the name of the input file.
:return: None
"""
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
The file generates fine with the way the code is written. I am just unsure what I need to change to add the headers.

Using the csv module, as you are, it's pretty straight forward. Define your headers in an array and then create a DictWriter with the fieldnames set to your array. Reference the following code and documentation:
import csv
with open('names.csv', 'w') as csvfile:
fieldnames = ['first_name', 'last_name']
writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=fieldnames)
writer.writeheader()
writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Baked', 'last_name': 'Beans'})
writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Lovely', 'last_name': 'Spam'})
writer.writerow({'first_name': 'Wonderful', 'last_name': 'Spam'})
Here's the documentation:
