Attendance - Student swiping per class and for hallpass

Julie Katz

We were using SchoolPass for attendance with students swiping their badges on iPads to come into class and if they needed a hallpass. SchoolPass was no longer providing updates that were needed so we now went with Orah. We are in their pilot program and it is going a bit slow.

Are any other schools out there using a system that has student scanning capability?

I'm really curious about your experience with SchoolPass - when you say they were no longer providing the updates you need, do you mean they sunset part of the software in favor of a lateral Raptor product, or they were dropping the ball? We have been having a really hard time with them with daily attendance - it was great for a long time but as they get closer to moving to fully branded Raptor products, it's become a struggle. I'm hopeful this is temporary as part of the transition. I also spoke with Orah recently but they didn't have the RFID capability we need built out yet, as promising as it looked.

I would love to know more about Orah for attendance. Does it have a visitor management piece as well?
