N-code check-in for staff

Know where every N-coded student is, every lesson.

WithMe checks the register at each lesson and asks the right staff one question: is this student with you? One tap answers it, and your attendance team sees it live.

An example lesson check. A phone shows the notification “3 students not yet accounted for · Lesson 2”, with no student named. The WithMe app opens on the Now list of three students. A member of staff taps With Me next to Amira K., which changes to With you, and the attendance dashboard updates from 3 open and 0 located to 2 open and 1 located.

How it works

From register to reassurance in minutes

WithMe runs quietly in the background, and only asks for help when a student is missing from a lesson.

  1. 01

    The register is checked

    At each lesson check, say Lesson 2 at 09:30, WithMe reads which students are coded N (no reason yet given) from your attendance system. It only reads, and never changes your register.

    A lesson register read from Arbor, with three of five students coded N, no reason yet.

  2. 02

    The right staff get a ping

    Staff whose year groups cover those students get a notification. It never names a student.

    A lock screen notification reading “3 students not yet accounted for · Lesson 2”, sent to the Year 9 tutors and the Head of Year 9.

  3. 03

    Someone taps With Me

    A member of staff who has the student opens the app and taps With Me for that lesson. It takes a second.

    The Now list in the WithMe app. With Me is tapped next to Amira K. and changes to With you.

  4. 04

    Officers see it live

    Attendance officers watch every lesson check update on a live dashboard, and follow up the students nobody has found.

    The live dashboard for Lesson 2, Year 9: 2 open and 1 located. Amira K. is located with J. Okafor.
