How June Automated Attendance Directly into PowerSchool

Assistant Principal June was frustrated and perplexed. Over the past few years, a tardy culture has sprung up in her high school. A significant rush of late students pile in the office each morning.

Until a few weeks ago, Assistant Principal June spent about 40 minutes each evening at home pre-writing tardy slips for the next day just to get in front of the problem.

June had been scouring the PowerSchool message boards looking for a better way to enter late attendance in the front office. All the options she had found were cumbersome, time consuming and inaccurate.

A few weeks ago, June read a review from a neighboring district that piloted an AutoTardy Plugin from identiMetrics that streamlined attendance. The plugin resulted in 100% accurate records, printed a tardy slip, tracked minutes of instructional time, printed discipline consequences – all in a couple of seconds. And best of all, it resides within PowerSchool!

June found a better way!

With AutoTardy, students move through the attendance office quickly with their attendance records automatically recorded. They grab their tardy slips and go directly to class. They know immediately the discipline consequences of their unexcused tardies and even know where to report for detention if need be.

Best of all, June won’t be handwriting tons of tardy slips at night. Now, she finally has the time to take that pottery class!
