Start using the Wellness screening on Monday, Sept. 28th.
See below for more information and instructions!
Dear K-8 Parents,
We are excited to share with you some important information about our new partnership with SchoolPass, www.school-pass.com, a unique software platform designed to simplify the ease and access of student attendance and dismissal procedures. The SchoolPass system will assist you in notifying the school of student absence as well as communicate changes in a child’s arrival or dismissal plan. Parents will appreciate easy access to mobile tools with the use of the SchoolPass™ app and the efficiency of the software’s systems. Changes to student’s daily routines will be readily available from a smartphone -anytime, anywhere with automatic follow-up notifications sent to school staff and teachers.
BENEFITS:
Secure, daily wellness screening for students through the app. No more forms to print out!
A quick and easy way for you to communicate arrival and dismissal changes.
Parents can now make changes to pick up until 2:30PM. Please call the school office directly (703)768-7732 if you have a last-minute change after 2:30PM.
More accurate accounting of student attendance, dismissal plan and up to the minute changes.
Efficiency in time and resources.
On the school website (www.stlouisschool.org/schoolpass/) is important information to help familiarize you with the School-Pass™ system. Many of your questions will be answered as you review the material. This new system will become mission-critical for our school, helping to provide safe, secure, and fast communication.
LOGIN INFORMATION
Because SchoolPass pulls data from Power School, the family login information will be emailed to the primary parent/guardian in Power School - this means only one parent per family will receive the email from SchoolPass. The primary parent will then be able to add other family members or friends to the profile. Please look for the email in the next 24-36 hours.
You will be able to get to the login page from our school website www.stlouisschool.org/schoolpass/ or directly at https://stlouisschool.school-pass.net. You will be able to download the app from the App Store or Google Play in the next few days. You can use the app for your child's daily wellness screening, to report your child’s absence, change a pick-up authorization, and even let us know that your child will be going home with a different family.
All St. Louis families will need to be enrolled in this system before school starts on Monday, September 28, 2020.
We strongly feel that SchoolPass will help streamline our process and procedures providing a more efficient and safe way to account for our student body as well as their daily routines. We recognize that with any new system there will be a need to adjust and learn, and we are committed to assisting our families in this transition. To give everyone ample time to update their profiles, we will roll SchoolPass out incrementally - we will begin with the Wellness screening each day next week to allow the school time to work through any potential issues. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out directly to me adyke@stlouisschool.org.
