Before you begin

In order to check a CHILD in they must:

be enrolled as of the current date (see Enrollment Status).
be assigned to a Primary Classroom (on the Information & Relationships screen).
have at least one pickup person assigned to them (also on the Information & Relationships screen).
and that person must have registered at the check in screen (see Register to Check In).

In order to check an EMPLOYEE in they must:

be currently employed (see Employment Status).
be assigned to a Primary Work Area and School location (on the Information & Relationships screen).
be assigned a Schedule if you are using the Region / School Option to “Restrict Check In / Out to Schedule”.
have registered at the check in screen (see Register to Check In).

At the check in screen select the “Start Here” button.
Enter the identification requested. Depending on which Options are selected one of the following items must be used.
1. The personal ID number chosen when registering.
2. The fingerprint used to register.
3. The magnetic swipe card used by the pickup person to register.
Then enter the 4 to 8 digit password chosen when registering.
Select the children (or Employee) to check in or out and view any items that may be available like Accounting, Schedules, Immunizations or Messages.

Notes:

Employees will also confirm/select the Work Area and Pay Code to use for check in.
Messages MUST be viewed before the check in process can be finished. Learn how to Send Messages.
If you’re using the option to “Automatically check children in” then you would select any children you did not want to check in or out.
