During a fast-paced school day, every minute counts.

Tracking time is a daily rhythm, and doing so with cost-effective, intuitive kiosks is one way to make sure your staff spends less time on tasks and more time supporting students.

Say hello to VirtuaTime™, a new time tracking app offered in partnership with School Technology Associates. VirtuaTime works on tablets to meet you where you are, offering flexibility to meet your district’s needs with tools you may already have.
 

Over 30 years of time clock expertise

Since 1992, School Technology Associates has supported Skyward districts nationwide with their intuitive hardware solutions. Now with the VirtuaTime app, districts can enhance their workflow with flexible time clock options that expand to multiple locations and devices. VirtuaTime is available for Android or Apple tablets and Chromebooks. The interface is simple and quick for employees to use, while payroll administrators can be confident using reliable tools built with decades of experience.

Design the best system for your district

Whether you need a budget-friendly setup with repurposed devices or dedicated hardware with additional safeguards, School Tech offers flexible options.
 

Option One: A budget-friendly system with smooth integration.

Use existing devices for clocking in and out with the VirtuaTime app for Skyward Qmlativ. No extra hardware needed.

Benefits:
  1. Works on dedicated Chromebooks, Apple and/or Android tablets.
  2. Clean and convenient interface in a single application.
  3. Easy installation.

While VirtuaTime will capture employee time clock activity, it cannot support peripheral add-ons including biometrics or badge scanners.
 

Option Two: Dedicated stations with enhanced safeguards

School Technology Associates’ Time Clock models are fully compatible with SMS 2.0 and Qmlativ and support customizable security features.

Benefits:
1. Multiple clock-in options including fingerprint scans, badge scans, or both.
2. New, user-friendly Linux interface with TT7 and TT10 models.
3. Fully integrated with Skyward for efficient data reporting.

With VirtuaTime, School Tech expands options for school districts looking to provide accessible time tracking options at school buildings. The TT7 and TT10 Time Clocks are durable options for high-traffic areas, the VirtuaTime app helps expand coverage for more employees in different locations. All options can work side by side in a single building.
