Orah saves Nicole 15-20 hours each month, and helped USN significantly improve their roll call completion rate to 98%

"It was pretty seamless…within three or four weeks, we pretty much had everybody taking it [attendance] in Orah.

The number of faculty members who have not taken attendance has dropped significantly…that means I’m not sending a reminder every class period or at the end of every day."

"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."

"The pilot period initially allowed us to achieve "buy-in" from faculty before fully transforming the system. For our fire drill, we have a preset response plan where all students assemble in the gym for a roll check. The roll is quickly taken and Dan was able to walk through and reconcile any missing kids with Orah.

This was unbelievable effective. 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.

"This is hands down the best application on the market in terms of making sure parents and staff understand where students are at any given time during the day.

It also has done a great job of expanding into buy-in areas for students such as having event sign-ups inside the application. Having parent accounts also does a great job of keeping lines of communication open between the parents, school, and students.
