“Part of us keeping our students safe is we’ve got to know where they are. We’ve got to know if they’re in class or not.” - Nicole Jules

"The system is very easy to use.

As well as a convenient tool for knowing exactly where pupils are, it has allowed pupils to indicate easily where they are going, when they left and when they return without scrambling to a piece of paper in the house.  That alongside the very important but secondary safeguarding records have all ensured great security at Eton.

The Orah app to allow remote access to check-in and check out in real-time has been very helpful in terms of usability, safeguarding and security."

"There was one student who was unaccounted for and didn't come to campus, but because it was already in the system, we knew exactly which student was missing within minutes."

"We were concerned about the big change of moving from pen and paper to a very electronic system. I think we were worried about the ways that it could malfunction and how some of our faculty might be intimidated by the technology. We didn’t really have any real concerns about what the program could do, rather we were more concerned about how much of a cultural shift it would be to the whole community.

[But] it was actually incredibly smooth for us. I spent a bit of time on the front end making sure I knew how to use it and in the first couple weeks of school, I just walked around with the person on duty and asked if they had any questions or concerns. The kids didn’t even bat an eye. They love it. They think it’s easier. It’s their world. The faculty were a little intimidated at first but as soon as they got the hang of how to use it, it worked seamlessly with them.
"

"One benefit of Orah is how seamlessly it allows communication internally. [Parents], the Dean’s Office, Health Center, etc. no longer need to call or email with information about individual students but can make changes in Orah that are updated in real time."
