Attendance and check-in

Attendance, check-in and authorized pickup on any phone

Knowing who is here, and who may take each child home, is the job that can't go wrong. BackPR puts the roster, the pickup list and the alerts on the phone in the staff member's hand.

How it works

Step by step

Made for: Camps, after-school programs, childcare, classes and any program that releases children to adults.

  1. Step 1

    Open the roster

    Staff see today's roster on a phone, with allergy and medical alerts and each child's dismissal method.

  2. Step 2

    Check in

    Tap to check in, or use kiosk mode at the door. Absence notifications go to families when an expected child isn't there.

  3. Step 3

    Verify pickup

    The adult shows a QR code or gives a PIN, and staff check it against the authorized pickup list. The blocked adults list warns staff.

  4. Step 4

    Keep the record

    Attendance history, printable sign-in sheets for paper backups, and attendance hours reports for grants.
