Pass configuration is one of the highest-volume pain points we see from newly onboarded schools — and one of the most common reasons daily records end up with gaps. Getting it right from the start means your team spends less time fixing mistakes and more time on what matters.
This session walks through how to build a pass structure that fits how your school actually runs day-to-day, including how to handle late arrivals and early dismissals without creating reconciliation headaches at the end of the day.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins responsible for daily sign-in and sign-out processes. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads overseeing student movement and attendance policy. Registrars managing student records and attendance data accuracy
What we'll cover: How to structure passes so they reflect your school's real workflows. Setting up pass types for late arrivals and early dismissals. Avoiding the most common pass configuration mistakes & how pass setup connects to end-of-day reconciliation and reporting accuracy.

Attendance teams have a hard job: daily reconciliation, missing records, interruptions from "Where is this student?" questions, and closeout work that eats into the rest of the day. It shouldn't have to be that way.
This session walks through how to use Orah's reconciliation tools to close out each day cleanly — so you're not carrying unresolved records into the next morning and your attendance data is always something you can stand behind.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins who own the daily reconciliation process. Registrars responsible for accurate student attendance records. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads who review attendance reports and follow up on absences.
What we'll cover: Daily reconciliation view: quickly see what's missing and what needs action. How to work through unresolved records efficiently: actionable steps, not just flags. End-of-day closeout workflow: what to check, in what order, before you leave. How clean daily data flows into weekly and term reporting.
Fortnightly on Wednesdays: 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET / 10:00 – 10:40 AM PT (Register to see dates)
Every unanswered parent question about their child's attendance is a phone call or email your team has to handle. Setting up Orah's parent and student ecosystem properly means fewer inbound queries, faster absence reporting, and clearer communication — without adding to your team's workload.
This session walks through the full parent and student communication setup in Orah so your school gets the most out of these features from day one.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins managing parent communication workflows. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads overseeing parent engagement and absence follow-up. Registrars handling absence notifications and parent-reported sign-outs.
What we'll cover: Attendance in the Parent App: what parents see, how they report absences, and how to reduce inbound questions. Notification setup: making sure the right alerts reach parents at the right time. Student-facing features: what students can see and do in Orah. How parent-reported absences flow into your attendance records.
Fortnightly on Thursdays: 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET / 10:00 – 10:40 AM PT (Register to see dates)
Manual sign-in processes slow everyone down — students queue, staff get interrupted, and records still end up incomplete. NFC tags and Checkpoints let your school automate student movement tracking at key locations, reducing friction for students and giving staff real-time visibility without the admin overhead.
This session covers everything you need to get NFC and Checkpoint features set up and working for your school's specific layout and routines.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins responsible for student movement and sign-in processes. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads overseeing campus access and student location tracking. IT Admins involved in hardware setup and integration.
What we'll cover: What NFC tags are and how they work with Orah's mobile app. Setting up Checkpoints: locations, triggers, and which student groups they apply to. How Checkpoint data feeds into attendance records and reconciliation. Practical use cases: dormitory check-ins, campus entry points, classroom attendance
Fortnightly on Fridays: 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET / 10:00 – 10:40 AM PT (Register to see dates)
An alert that fires too late, goes to the wrong person, or triggers for the wrong reason isn't just unhelpful — it erodes trust in the system. Getting your alert configuration right means staff are notified automatically when it matters, and your team stops relying on manual follow-up to catch absences and safety concerns.
This session walks through how to build alert rules that actually match how your school operates.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins configuring automated notifications and follow-up workflows. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads responsible for absence follow-up and student safety oversight. School operations staff who receive or act on attendance alerts.
What we'll cover: Alert types in Orah: what triggers them and who receives them. Configuring alert rules to match your school's specific workflows and thresholds. Avoiding alert fatigue: setting up rules that are specific enough to be actionable. How alerts connect to parent notifications and staff escalation workflows.

Mistakes in attendance records are inevitable — a wrong sign-out time, a missing entry, a field trip that wasn't logged in advance. What matters is how quickly and cleanly you can fix them. Orah's bulk update and editing tools are designed for exactly this, but most schools don't discover them until they're already dealing with a reporting problem.
This session gives you the full picture so you're never stuck with messy data for long.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins responsible for maintaining accurate student records. Registrars who handle retrospective corrections and data integrity. Deans, Assistant Principals or Division Heads who sign off on attendance reports and need clean underlying data.
What we'll cover: Editing individual records: how to correct sign-in/sign-out times, reasons, and statuses. Bulk updates: how to make changes across multiple students or dates at once. Managing field trip and group event records retroactively. Audit trail and data integrity: what Orah tracks when changes are made.
Fortnightly on Tuesdays: 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET / 10:00 – 10:40 AM PT (Register to see dates)
Attendance data is only as useful as the structure behind it. Schools with poorly configured Reason Codes end up with dashboards full of noise — and leadership asking questions the data can't answer. Getting this right early means your school can actually use its attendance data to make decisions, not just record them.
This session covers Reason Code setup and the Attendance Insights Dashboard so your school gets reporting that's meaningful from day one.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins configuring the Orah platform for their school. Deans, Assistant Principals and Division Heads who use attendance data to track patterns and intervene early. School leadership who rely on attendance reports for compliance, safeguarding, or strategic decisions.
What we'll cover: Reason Code configuration: how to set up codes that give you clean, categorised data. Common mistakes that make reporting ambiguous — and how to avoid them. Attendance Insights Dashboard: how to read it, filter it, and surface what matters. Using data to identify patterns: chronic absenteeism, year group trends, and follow-up triggers.

A field trip with 60 students, a sports fixture with two year groups, an early dismissal for the whole school — group movements create a sudden spike in sign-outs that need to be logged fast and accurately. If it's not handled cleanly in Orah, one event can derail your daily reconciliation and leave gaps in your records.
This session covers how to manage group movements so they're handled efficiently before, during, and after the event.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins coordinating group sign-outs and off-campus events. Deans, Assistant Principals and Division Heads responsible for approving and tracking student group movements. School operations staff who manage logistics for excursions, sports, and group dismissals.
What we'll cover: Bulk sign-out tools: how to move a large group of students out (and back in) in minutes. Planning ahead: how to set up group movements in advance so the day runs smoothly. Sports fixtures and excursions: how to keep these separate and trackable in your records. How group movements connect to daily reconciliation and end-of-day closeout.

In an emergency, you need to know exactly where every student is — immediately. A printed list from last week isn't good enough. This session is about making sure your Orah setup means that when something happens, your team has real-time, accurate student location data at their fingertips and a clear process to follow.
Who should attend: Orah Admins responsible for emergency rollcall and student accountability. School leaders who lead emergency response procedures.
What we'll cover: Initiating an emergency rollcall in Orah: how it works and what staff see on their devices. How staff mark students safe in real time during a lockdown or evacuation. Ensuring your setup is emergency-ready: what needs to be configured in advance. What to do when students are off-campus during an emergency event.
Fortnightly on Fridays: 1:00 PM – 1:40 PM ET / 10:00 – 10:40 AM PT (Register to see dates)
Most schools go live with the core features working and never come back to explore the rest. Which means they're paying for — and missing out on — tools that would save their team real time every week. This session is a curated walkthrough of the features that newly onboarded schools consistently underuse, with practical examples of how each one fits into your daily workflows.
Who should attend: Attendance Managers and Admins who are past initial setup and want to get more out of the platform. Deans, Assistant Principals and Division Heads looking to reduce manual workload across their operations teams. School leaders who want to understand the full scope of what Orah can do.
What we'll cover: Checkpoints and Tags: automating student tracking beyond basic sign-in and sign-out. Health Center sign-outs. Advanced reporting: filters, exports, and views that most schools never find on their own. Student schedule in the student profile: get full context without tab-hopping. Flexible daily attendance policies: match your school's workflow without messy workarounds.
Every Wednesday & Friday: 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM ET / 11:00 – 11:45 AM PT

"Students are starting to get more engaged just because of the way we're able to communicate and share information with them"
"Orah is a clean platform that allows you to see and track any concerns with students. You can see if they're not participating, eating regularly, or leaving the building. Those are incredibly helpful pieces that facilitate meaningful conversations"
"The checkpoint kiosk has provided a professional way to manage the sign in/out of the pupils and staff, which supports the safeguarding of pupils. The system is very easy to use, allowing proper management of access to Boarding Houses."
"When we're no longer focused on paperwork, then we can focus on the relationships and the students. You can take notes as you're sitting there with students, so absolutely. Make the change. It's sort of revolutionized my life"
