Bio-metric Timeclock
An essential aspect our clock hours schools is managing student attendance. NACCAS best practice requires proof that a student is actually clocking themselves in - not just entering a code or swiping a card.
Prestige's Bio-metric timeclock system tracks student hours as they progress through the program. Students clock in and out on the system all day. (breaks, lunch, leaving the building). The system calculates the student time and provides feedback on their daily and total program hours when they clock in or out. The system tracks the student attendance so absences, tardies, or early departures can trigger Spark messages to teachers or student affairs. The time clock also manages employee hours and payroll numbers.
Some schools requirements determine when a student can clock in or out - no before the "official class time", so in order to keep compliance, the system will either restrict the student from clocking in before the class time, or will automatically round the time to the class time. The timeclock follows other rules like min or max hours per day, multi- campus, automated deductions for breaks, and admin office restrictions.
Through the teacher portal phone app, the teacher can pull up their roster of students, identifying who is present or absent. The teachers are able to contact each missing student, recording all student communication notes, i.e no answer, sick, etc. - in the student file. This student/ teacher tracking also assists in school management by calculating student/teacher ratios -at any time reporting the number of students per teacher numbers for rosters, departments, or entire campus. Spark messages would be used to notify management of changes in threshold levels.

Sparks
The Prestige system is programmed to know what is required and will tell the staff what they need to do and when to do it, reducing the need to rely on someone to remembering the next steps. Prestige accomplishes this by heavily leveraging automated system alerts, called Sparks and scheduled to-do's. Sparks are automated notifications delivered via email, text, mobile app or viewed on individual users to-do dashboard.
Sparks Deliver important student or urgent school information automatically. Students or Teachers can set their own alerts for when grades dip, assignments are missed, absences occur - and more - and receive them via the Prestige dashboard, email, mobile device or text message. Schools can also send urgent communications for school closings, delays, and emergencies. With Prestige, there’s no need for multiple school student communication tools.

Understanding the chaotic crazy creative nature of our schools, The power of Prestige is how it leverages technology to increase productivity and brings order and efficiency to chaos through system settings and automation. When we built Prestige we looked at all of the manual processes and administrative steps our staff was performing everyday, and automated them.
In admissions, Prestige collects new prospect leads from web page or facebook forms, walk in, ISIR import or phone call leads, and tells the admissions staff they need to contact the lead. The system tracks the stages of the admissions process and adds automation and reminders to each step. Using Drip campaign strategies, Prestige automatically sends messages to prospective students on incremental dates and creates reminders and tasks for the admissions staff of next steps and to do's. The system sends notification to prospective students of their Kit options or specialized equipment options they can ask admissions or at enrollment. These upgrades are incorporated in the student financial package.

Financial Aid Integration
The Prestige system integrates all departments into the process. Financial aid receives notification of pending students and triggers messages to students about financial aid requirements, forms and directs them to the FASFA website. The student is notified when the ISIR is received by the school. The collected information automates the award letter creation process for student financial aid awards. As some steps require authorization, many of the automated steps are initiated by manual starts -- for example financial aid needs to review the award information, approve and then send awards letters to the students. The to-do board is also used to identify students that are flagged for verification or are missing information. Messages are sent to the students asking for required documentation via the online portal. Once all required information is collected, a Sparks notification is given to financial aid. Notifications are passed to admissions to enroll the student.
