How Ethan Got Students Back to Class Faster with Tardy Management Software

Ethan is the Vice Principal at Grove High School. Ethan has a lot to focus on in a given day. Lost classroom time, lower test scores, mental health and nutritional concerns are real issues with these kids. Increased absenteeism and chronic lateness are two other unfortunate trends that Ethan personally needs to address.

Last week at the monthly district meeting, Ethan learned about the identiMetrics Front Office Tardy Plugin for PowerSchool from a friend and colleague, Miquel, the Vice Principal at Pinecrest High School. Miquel was addressing this same problem simply and cost-effectively with this software plugin.

The plugin automatically records and counts every tardy incident DIRECTLY into PowerSchool. You can then generate reports to assess which students may need early intervention and begin to keep things in check.

The surprise added bonus? With a simple finger scan, an auto-print tardy pass is generated. They grab it and go right to class. The whole process only takes a few seconds!

Set up is a breeze. You can be up and running in about 30 minutes. The system works with biometrics AND bar code scanners and pin pads. Miquel wanted the increased convenience and security of biometrics knowing that nobody can argue with the biometric time stamp.

Ethan understands that the effects of absenteeism and chronic lateness won’t be solved overnight. But at least being proactive in efficiently addressing one piece of the problem is a step in the right direction.
