Time for Sign-In
4. Time for Sign-In
Schools typically require all visitors to sign in upon arrival. This process may include:
- Signing a visitor log or using a digital check-in system.
- Receiving a visitor badge, which you’ll need to wear during your time on the premises.
- Showing your photo ID and sharing your WWCC details.
The sign-in process is not only about confirming attendance but also an important opportunity to ask any questions or clarify details that will help ensure the session runs smoothly. Here’s what to keep in mind when signing in:
Ask About Absentee Notifications
- Confirm School’s Absentee Protocol: This is a great time to confirm with the school if they want to be notified about any absences. If you haven’t already clarified this, ask the school office whether they expect to be informed of any missing children.
- Ensure You Know the Process: If the school does require notification, ensure you know the preferred method of communication (e.g., phone call, sending children to the office).
Clarify Collection Procedures
- Confirm Collection Points: It’s essential to verify where the children are to be collected after the session. This can help avoid confusion at dismissal and ensure the children are safely handed over to the correct person.
- Ask for Specific Details: If there are specific procedures for the collection (e.g., designated pick-up points or times), ask for clarification so that you can communicate this clearly to the children and parents.
By using the sign-in time to ask these questions, you can ensure that you have the information you need to handle attendance and collection smoothly, while also following any necessary school protocols.
