After school club reg

[manamaga2512]

Hi all, I've noticed that our admin ladies are having to email out to all staff nearly every day after school, asking staff if they have xxx student with them because their parent is on the phone. Teachers are not always quick to respond, and sometimes don't respond, and the admin ladies and indeed the school can sometimes look a bit silly not knowing even if a student is on the premises. I'm looking to implement something that is really quick and easy whereby teachers will have to 'register' or log a student as being with them after school, and the admin team have instant access to it to see if a student is still in the building. We have InVentry visitor system and that has something called club reg but it's not designed to work on desktop Pc's. I wanted to know if anyone else has anything in place or any suggestions?

 

Many thanks.

You mean like Sims? That MIS you pay thousands for? The thing that teachers likely use every day anyway? (Replace Sims with whatever MIS you use)

Jokes aside.. that’s what we have.. the clubs have a register.. same as lessons.. not sure why the need for anything extra is needed?

Ah, OK. Yeah, we have SIMS, I didn't realise it had such a function for after school activities. In the absence of a data manager, and the likelyness that we won't be getting one (more jobs put on other people without remuneration, but that's a separate thread moan!) I shall take it upon myself to investigate this further. Would it be an additional module that needs adding to core SIMS?

You can do this sort of thing by building it into the timetable - if the programme of activities is regular through the year and does not change very much. You would need to get your timetabler involved in that though. There is also an additional module which I belieive is cloud based:
