Secure School ID
Students have one - and only one - valid ID at a time. Administrators activate and deactivate IDs for lost or stolen cards on demand. Photo IDs are proven to provide a higher level of student safety and campus security.

Attendance
Tap in and tap out. From bus to building, building to classroom. Large groups move quickly by an attendance kiosk and are checked in as they tap their card.

Campus Safety
Monitor entry to buses and buildings, control hallway traffic and activities on campus grounds. Improve student behavior and enhance effectiveness of emergency management.

Behavior Modification
ScholarChip's ABE system (Alternative Behavior Educator) offers schools a proactive transformation of the discipline process and provides teachers and administrators with an effective and efficient tool for handling disruptive behaviors.

Student Transactions
Automate food service account processing and on-line payments for increased productivity and profit. ScholarChip's point-of-sale system manages free and reduce lunch payments and monitors for food allergies and other dietary concerns.

Increase Student Safety and School Security

ScholarChip - from bus to building, from building to classroom.

Student information is securely held in the cloud.

Comprehensive School Safety & Operations System (SSOS)

The first step toward a truly automated campus, ScholarChip's ID Manager Station provides all the necessary components to take photos, register students and print unique, virtually tamper-proof cards for your students, facility and staff. ID Manager is the foundation for a comprehensive system with automated attendance, point-of-sale, paperless referrals and visitor management.

Integrates with all modern student information systems (SIS)
Compatible with ISO 14443A/B contactless smart cards
One-pass printing and smart card activation with Zebra ZXP Series 3 card printers

ScholarChip's ID Manager for Smart Cards

Double card readers process up to 40 students per minute.

Mobile or desk mounted, ScholarChip's automated attendance monitoring station is networked to provide real data, in real time. Up to 40 people per minute can tap in or out using the two smart readers on the incoming side of the attendance station. An attendant monitors activity from the reverse side and can quickly stop anyone entering the building that doesn't have permission to be on campus.

Custom settings allow automated "late" status and creates tardy slips. Visual and audio alerts display for suspensions, disciplinary action or student-specific messages such as "Happy Birthday."

Mobile Apps

Transportation, Hall Monitoring & Paperless Referrals

ScholarChip Mobile Apps for transportation attendance, paperless referrals and hall monitoring. A tap of the student's smart ID card and the ScholarChip cloud is updated with the location, date and time stamp of the tap. The student's photo, schedule and other information is retrieved from the school's student information system (SIS) and appears on the mobile device confirming identity and permissions in seconds. Referrals happen in read time allowing immediate action when needed.

Bus attendance has back-end mapping showing the last location where the student tapped in or out.

Classroom Attendance

Wall or desk-mounted card reader for access control or classroom attendance.

Put the responsibility of attendance on the student. Unlike traditional manual systems, all students are listed as absent until the student taps in at a reader or tablet. No teacher intervention is needed and attendance is accurate and consistent. A major plus - teachers recover up to 4 minutes per class for teaching with automated attendance.

Classroom attendance verifies the correct class and period and whether or not the student tapped in on time, late or too tardy to be given credit for attending. For districts with "time in seat" requirements, automated classroom attendance can also track in and out for restroom breaks or other time away from class.

ScholarChip's classroom attendance system automatically reconciles with building attendance. Audio and visual alerts are displayed when a student has a pending infraction or suspension.

Visitor Management

Specifically designed for schools, ScholarChip's Visitor Management solution provides an extensive SIS interface for automated visitor validation. In seconds, a new visitor's data is pulled from their drivers license or state-issued ID, and cross-referenced with the against school restricted access database and ScholarChip's national sex offender database.

Approved visitors are photographed and issued a pass. Return visitors are recognized in the system and quickly provided with a pass. The attendant and other designated personnel are alerted should someone attempt to enter that is flagged in the system as prohibited, requires escort or other limited access.

Point-of-Sale

Cafeteria Point-of-Sale kiosk for quick, efficient and accurate check out.

A cloud-based point-of-sale solution for your campus saves time, money and enhances student card usage. Use POS for cafeteria management, free and reduced lunch monitoring and reporting, cafeteria attendance, web-based payments and parent notification. Fully-hosted so no hardware or software maintenance. Uptime and security equal to the requirements set for financial industry and government installations.

Interface with the Student Information System allows proactive response for known food allergies and processes free and reduced lunch plans without calling attention to the student's method of payment.
