SchoolPass 4+

The app works well enough to get our students’ names onto the dismissal list for staff, however, it could really use two new features.

First, where is the CarPlay integration? The app checks a geofence that’s a few minutes away from the school and it would be very nice to have a CarPlay UI to facilitate check-in during those few minutes. That would allow the student to get to the pickup location while the caregiver finishes their drive.

Second, our school only uses the “Carline” queue. The other two queues (“Parent waiting area” and “Early pickup”) aren’t used by the school and should be hidden in the UI (which would leave just one button that obviously is no longer needed could … thereby avoiding one UI step/dialog). This would avoid new caregiver confusion.

Our school has a customized wellness check with School pass. Staff and students/parents completed every day. I think this daily wellness check helps people to self monitor - it has helped keep our school healthy and open for business.

The app was dumb but worked fine enough last year, but I’ve had a ton of problems this school year (3 weeks in). First off, how stupid is it to have to have different logins for kids in different schools? That’s some terrible UX design. I feel bad for parents with kids in all levels of school.
This year, I’ve had an issue where the app will crash if I try to switch which kid I need to mark absent. It gets to the point that I have to uninstall the app and reinstall it then I have to get a new temp password (which both schools have to have their own password for some reason). So I can update one password, but when I have to do this all over again, I have to get a new password again because the temp passwords expire (I get it. That’s how they work).
Why can’t I just have a login that shows both of my kids and their schools so if they’re both out on the same day, I don’t have to jump through a million hoops.
