Bus Runs

💡 This guide is to accommodate those centers who have bus runs. Initially we would set up the Bus Room which will cater to identify those children's movements whilst in your care. Then we will run through the scenario of an example day.

Setup

Create Bus Room

Go to 💻 Configure > Rooms

  1. Enter 'Bus Run' as the Room Name
  2. Click Add Room

Create a Children Tag

  • Create Tags - This step allows us to bundle like children together for ease of seeing children who need to use the Bus Run.


Using a Bus Run

  • Sign the Child in as normal when they are changing caregivers (parent to Care Provider/Educator)

Boarding the Bus

📱 Actions > Attendances

  1. Use the Tag icon to select the bus run tag
  2. Select the Room Change icon (two arrows) in the top right corner and select the Bus Room from the dropdown
  3. Tick off each child as they board the bus
  4. Press Update

Exiting the Bus

📱 Actions > Attendances

  1. Filter by the Bus Room
  2. Select the Room Change icon (two arrows) in the top right corner and select another room to move them to from the dropdown
  3. Tick off each child as they exit the bus
  4. Press Update

Extra Measures to Confirm Children Are Accounted For

Evacuation/Head Count: (BUS RUN check)

📱 Actions > Evacuation/Head Count

  1. Drop down to Bus Run, Children who have been signed in will display in the list.
  2. Tick checkbox beside each child accounted for
  3. Complete questions and Sign Off

Check the daily attendance rolls:

💻 Attendances > Daily Attendances

  • Displays a full list of Children who should be in care for the day
  • Take note of any child who is not signed in to a Room

⚠️ What if a child gets on the bus who is not tagged as a Bus Run Child?

  1. Swipe left to right on the child in the Attendance list
  2. Click on Change Room
  3. Select Bus Run and Update
  4. The child will be allocated to the bus, so you should ensure they exit the bus also
