Orah saves Nicole 15-20 hours each month, and helped USNÂ 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. Â 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."
- Daniel Skoglund, Director of Diversity & Student Affairs
"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."
- Ashley McDowell, Dean of Students
All schools have a duty of care for their students while on campus. But unfortunately, schools are often under resourced to manage student life to a high standard.
This results in reactive a prioritisation of student needs, gaps in key student services and safeguarding risks.
Orah saw these gaps, and we've been working to fix them for over 10Â years now.
Orah connects to the student information systems your school already uses.
Student Information Systems are largely designed to capture information and aren't often easy for your everyday staff member, caregiver or student to use.
These integrations mean that you can sync across all your existing student information, including class and extracurricular groups – and give your staff an easy-to-use app to take attendance, manage behavior or communicate with parents & caregivers – all in one place.
We believe that students basic needs must be met before they can properly learn.
If the outcome is to learn and retain information in school, but a student is hungry – it is more effective to give that student breakfast than to improve the lesson plan.
Similarly, if a student is not doing well at home – it is more effective for a student's development to give them the support they need to deal with the issues that are affecting them, rather than investing in solutions further up the school hierarchy of needs.
Orah helps schools to manage student life & effectively deliver a high standard of care – which enables students to thrive at school.
Think about the number of different people students interact with on a daily basis. Each person has their own unique relationship, connection and understanding of that students' progress.
‍
Students thrive and succeed when they are understood, and the best schools in the world ensure that everyone works together to get the best out of every student. But making sense of all the different interactions and coordinating departments is easier said than done.
‍
This is where Orah comes in. Orah allows you to capture and synchronize relevant data from multiple sources and provide everyone with a single human-centric view of the student to create an experience that brings the best out of every student.
Orah's Duty of Care platform helps schools to make sure students are accounted for, both physically and mentally. This is achieved through student location tracking (Attendance), well-being tools (Mood Checks, Surveys) and school communications (Connect). It’s all about helping schools to create a secure and supportive environment.Â
