Special Classroom Registration System

[Gongalong]

Hi folks,

 

We have a handful of special classrooms where students come and go e.g. Pastoral, SEN, which we track student movements to/from.

 

To-date we have used a clunky but simple terminal with a OneDrive based spreadsheet where either staff or students go to the sheet for the day and fill out the student’s name for the lesson period. The spreadsheets are then shared with reception, attendance staff etc. so they can view the students’ movements.

 

Our Pastoral team want to modernise this with a biometric or similar system, so the students can scan in and out. The problem they have in one classroom at least is that movements are not tracked effectively, and they think an easier system will improve the accruracy. The system would still need a facility where staff across the site could view it and see where the students are.

 

We had hoped to use our till software, which is part of a bigger identity management system, but the registration module doesn’t support the barcoded cards we use with the tills.

 

Any other schools using something similar they can recommend, along with a rough idea of cost?

 

Something that integrates with SIMS to pick up the students names would be a bonus.

 

Thanks

Have a look at the sign in app, as it comes with MIS integration and write back.

 

Multi purpose, so the price can be spread.
