LLA Adopts SchoolPass Visitor Management, Attendance, Carline Automation Tools

We are excited to announce that Loma Linda Academy has contracted with SchoolPass to implement a new visitor management tool for the CC-12 divisions. This also includes a pick-up carline automation tool for elementary and junior high, and automated attendance and student dismissal for junior high and high school.
Not only will this new system improve the safety of our schools, it will also allow us to streamline the check-in/check-out process at each school office, as well as the dismissal process for elementary and junior high. Please see the information below to learn about each of these new tools which we will be using at LLA.
 
Visitor Management System Highlights – CC-12 Implementation will be February 1, 2023
 
With SchoolPass, a visitor will sign in on an iPad at the school office, where they will use either their state-issued driver’s license or their unique digital ID, enter their destination, and a visitor badge with their photo will print immediately. 
  1. Visitors, volunteers, and vendors, as well as students who are late or leaving early sign in and out via an app.
    1. PLEASE NOTE: All employees bringing visitors/vendors/friends/family members on campus must ensure that their visitor uses the visitor management system prior to entering campus.
  2. Each visitor will be screened against the national sex offender list, and alerts are sent to administration for risks. 
  3. Customizable badges with photos are automatically printed at visitor check-in, and robust reporting allows LLA to see who is on campus, why and for how long.
  4. For frequent visitors, such as parents, we can issue digital IDs/mobile wallets, QuickPins and QR/barcodes to efficiently check in and check out of a building.
  5. It is important to note that the only information Loma Linda Academy will access and store in this new system is the visitor’s first name, last name, date of birth, photo and visit information (time, date, who they visited and reason for visit)
  6. The system will be used by parents to check their students in or out if arriving late or leaving early.
    1. Junior high and High School students will continue to be able to check themselves in if arriving late.
    2. Parents on all campuses are required to come into an office to sign their child out early.
 
Automated Attendance and Student Dismissal – Implementation will be February 2023
 
  1. Automated Attendance for grades 7-12 will be implemented in February 2023.
  2. 7-12 grade students will check in to each classroom at the beginning of class, attendance will be recorded to myLLA within 5 minutes.
  3. Parents will receive an email from SchoolPass with their digital ID that they can save on their smartphone wallet (similar to a mobile boarding pass) that will allow them to check their students in and out seamlessly. Parents who don’t use or have access to a smartphone will also be provided a QuickPin ID number to allow for seamless check in and out.
  4. All parents will receive their unique digital ID during the last week of January. 
  5. JH and HS Students will receive updated ID cards with barcodes that link to their school ID in myLLA (Blackbaud).
 
Elementary and Junior High Carline Automation – Elementary implementation Spring 2023, JH implementation Fall 2023
 
Carline automation will allow LLA to automatically verify that students are being picked up only by those on the pickup list and keep a record of when a student was picked up, and by whom.
  1. This new system will allow parents to be able to make dismissal changes for their children with the click of a button, without having to call into the office.
  2. LLA will be able to automatically identify who is picking up each student using updated name placards that include an RFID number attached to each person allowed to pick up each specific student.
Training is being provided for LLA staff regarding visitor management, automated attendance and carline automation. For more information about SchoolPass at Loma Linda Academy visit www.lla.org/schoolpass.
