A student is absent from class. Another leaves early for an appointment. Later, the school runs an emergency drill.
Each situation calls for the same thing: a reliable picture of where students are expected to be and where they were last accounted for.
Join Matt Varley and Damien Hill for Orah's vision for school safety and operations. We'll explore how the information schools gather throughout the day can help staff respond to everyday questions and prepare for emergencies, and share the product direction behind that vision.
What you'll take away
- The link between everyday attendance and emergency readiness. See how the routines your school already runs, such as attendance, passes, check-ins, sign-outs and dismissals, can contribute to one picture of where students are.
- A practical scenario. Walk through what staff can do when a student isn't where they're expected to be, from what has been approved to what needs follow-up.
- What is available today, and what is still a direction. A clear line between what schools can use now and where Orah is heading next.
- How it fits your systems and your privacy expectations. How school routines and your SIS can contribute to a more current picture of student location, and how access to that information is controlled.
- A takeaway for your leadership team. A clear view of the gap between having a safety plan and being able to account for students in practice, to bring to your next leadership or board conversation.
Who should attend
- Heads of school and executive teams: Learn how independent schools are strengthening student accountability across the school day and during emergencies.
- Safety and operations leaders: See how everyday attendance can prepare your school to account for students in an emergency.
- Deans and division heads: See how staff can respond when a student isn't where they're expected to be.
- Attendance and administrative teams: See how schools give staff a clearer attendance picture throughout the day, with less manual reconciliation.
- Technology leaders: Understand how this connects to your existing systems, and what is available today versus what is still ahead.
- Residential and boarding teams: See how schools can keep a clearer picture of student whereabouts, from the school day through residential life.
