The Windward School & Brooklyn Friends School: One Place to Know Where Students Are

Hear the attendance and dismissal routines behind hours saved each day and end-of-day dismissals consistently completed in under 10 minutes.

Bernie McCormick, Chief Technology Officer at The Windward School, will share the school’s experience using Orah for dismissals. Ray Shay, Director of Technology & Auxiliary Programs at Brooklyn Friends School, will share how the school uses Orah for attendance.

Together, they’ll explain why their schools chose Orah to consolidate tools and give staff one place to know where students are. The discussion will connect those daily routines to a wider question: what changes when attendance, dismissals, student leave, check-ins and emergency accountability are managed in the same system?

• Connect daily routines to emergency readiness. Explore why attendance, leave, check-ins and dismissals belong in the same picture when staff need to account for students.
