The Student Tracking page allows District and Building Admins to set up their preferred Tardy Settings, Badge Printing Settings, and Student Late Check-in & Early-Check-out Reasons. To access the Student Tracking page and configure the needed settings, follow the below steps: 

  1. Log into Visitor Management as a District Admin or Building Admin
  2. Navigate to the Admin Settings by clicking the key icon on the side navigation menu
  3. Navigate to the Student Tracking tab

Tardy Settings

  1. Late Check-in Time - Users can set this time to indicate the time of day that a student is considered Tardy
  2. Tardy Alert Threshold - Users can set how many tardies a student can have before they meet the threshold
  3. Click Save Changes
 
 

Badge Printing

Users can enable these options to have a student badge print automatically at the Self-Serve kiosk instead of the front office with staff approval for specific grades. Any grade not selected below will continue to have the student badge print at the front office after approval by a staff member.

  1. Tardy Badge (Self-Serve): Toggle this option and select the desired grade levels to allow students to check-in and print their badge on Self-Serve, without Staff approval.  
    1. Students in the selected grade levels will complete their check-in on Self-Serve and collect their badge before entering the building
    2. Staff will see a Finalize Student Check-in banner at the top of the Staff-Assisted station, allowing them to mark the check-in as Excused or Unexcused after the check-in has been completed
  2. Early Dismissal Badge (Self-Serve): Toggle this option and select the desired grade levels to allow students to check-out and print their badge on Self-Serve, without Staff approval. 
    1. Students in the selected grade levels will complete their check-out on Self-Serve and collect their badge before exiting the building
    2. Staff will see the Early Dismissal event listed on the Students: Check-in & Check-out History page

Prevent School Overrides

If all schools will have the same Badge Printing settings, then the Prevent School Overrides setting needs to be toggled on. If all schools will not have the same Badge Printing settings, then the Prevent School Overrides setting needs to be toggled off. Toggling this setting off allows Building Admins to set the preferred options for their school for both Badge Printing settings and Reasons. 

 
 
 

Reasons

The Student Late Check-in and Early-Check-out Reasons configured in this section will show in both the Self-Serve and Staff-Assisted workflows. Please note that if a district or school uses the PowerSchool Writeback functionality, their PowerSchool Attendance Codes will need to be imported and mapped to the Student Late Check-in and Early-Check-out Reasons in Visitor Management. Admins can follow the below steps for each scenario to configure their needed Reasons. 

Schools that have PowerSchool Writebacks enabled:

  1. Click the Refresh button near the top of the top of the Reasons section.
    1. This will import the school's active Attendance Codes from PowerSchool.
    2. If an error message is shown, please ensure that all settings are saved correctly on the PowerSchool Setup page.
  2. Click the Map Late Check-in and Early Check-out Reasons button.
  3. In the popup window, select the preferred Attendance codes for each section below:
    1. Late Check-in
      1. Attendance Codes selected under this section will be available in the Student Late Check-in workflows on Self-Serve and Staff-Assisted.
    2. Early Check-out
      1. Attendance Codes selected under this section will be available in the Student Early Check-out workflows on Self-Serve and Staff-Assisted.
  4. Click Save Mapping

Note: PowerSchool updates the Attendance Codes to include a new “year_id” every school year. When prepping for schools to begin after summer break, please use the Refresh button again to ensure that the latest Attendance Codes are being used in Visitor Management for the new school year.


Schools that do not have PowerSchool Writebacks enabled:

Admin users can perform the below actions under the Late Check-in and Early Check-out sections:

  1. Add a custom Late Check-in or Early Check-out Reason:
    1. Click on the + Add Custom option to add a new Reason.
      1. District Admin - User can add a custom Reason to display in all buildings in the district.
      2. Building Admin - User can add a custom Reason to display in their building only.
    2. Enter the needed Reason in the text field and click Add.
  2. Edit an Existing Late Check-in or Early Check-out Reason:
    1. Hover over the needed Reason and click on the Pencil icon.
    2. Make the needed edits.
      1. Note: Editing a Reason that has already been used will edit all past events where it was used. 
    3. Click Edit to save changes.
  3. Delete an Existing Late Check-in or Early Check-out Reason:
    1. Hover over the needed Reason and click on the Trash icon.
      1. Note: Reasons that have already been used cannot be deleted.
    2. If the Reason hasn't been used previously by any students, the user will be asked to confirm the deletion.
    3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.
  4. Disable an Existing Late Check-in or Early Check-out Reason:
    1. Uncheck the needed Reason to disable.
      1. If the Reason is already in use, the user will be asked to confirm the disabling and needs to click Continue to complete the disabling.
  5. Enable an Existing Late Check-in or Early Check-out Reason:
    1. Check the needed Reason to enable.

Prevent School Overrides

If all schools will have the same Reasons, then the Prevent School Overrides setting needs to be toggled on. If all schools will not have the same Reasons, then the Prevent School Overrides setting needs to be toggled off. Toggling this setting off allows Building Admins to set the preferred options for their school for both Badge Printing settings and Reasons.
