RightSpot helps Schools ensure that during the dismissal process everyone knows where a student should go. No need for post-it notes or calls. Dismissal time at school has a lot of variables. Every day who should be on the bus is effected by who's absent, parent's requesting pick up, who needs an alternate bus stop on certain days, who will be in an after school program., etc. Right Spot integrates key information from your Student Information System with transportation data to ensure that bus checkers/attendants and after school activity leaders have current up-to-date rosters that automatically adjust to last minute changes. RightSpot's key features include: • Easy, intuitive way to manage and communicate daily or recurring exceptions • Manage after school activities and accurately reflect their impact on transportation • Handle early dismissals and special events with ease • GPS integration provides real-time status of buses and automatically re-calculates arrival times at stops • Dismissal reports and stickers to support your process • Audit reporting to respond to questions regarding buses or students RightSpot Tablet provides Bus Checkers & Attendants an easy way to check students on/off the bus in the field. RightSpot provides key information such as who is allowed to walk home from the bus or who are the authorised persons that can meet the student. Students with RFID cards can check on/off the bus themselves with RightSpot's RFID solution integration. Either way, date/time and locations are automatically logged to ensure that all students are accounted for.
