The Advancing K12 One-Page Pitch Series aims to help team members lead from within. We’ll package up big topics into a comprehensive, concise pitch ready to deliver to stakeholders.
This month we are exploring tardy kiosks. These helpful machines are simple to use and chock-full of benefits to students, teachers, staff, and administrators.
There are so many benefits to trying a tardy kiosk. For starters, avoiding chronic absenteeism can keep kids on track to graduating, one study showed. Schools can use the system to get on board with positive attendance and save everyone some time while increasing student agency.
It's not hard to set up a tardy kiosk. Listen as one district leader describes the process.
Attendance matters, but it's kind of a chore. Tardy kiosks free up time and ensure students are accounted for. Take a look.
WHAT'S NEXT FOR YOUR EDTECH? The right combo of tools & support retains staff and serves students better. We'd love to help. Visit skyward.com/get-started to learn more.
