Having parents and staff fill out daily wellness checks is an easy way to ensure the health and safety of children and staff alike. When wellness checks are enabled, a guardian must complete a health check for their student before they can be signed in on a given day. Similarly, teachers will be prompted to complete wellness checks before being able to clock in for the day.
How to Enable Wellness Checks
When wellness checks are enabled, a health questionnaire will pop up for families and staff to fill out before they check in.
In the admin dashboard, click on the Settings tab
Click on the General tab
Scroll down the page to the Attendance section, where you will find the Wellness Check toggle
Enable the Wellness Check toggle
💡 The questions in a Wellness Check cannot be edited from the default questions.
How to Complete Wellness Checks

💡 Parents can fill out wellness checks in advance of dropping their children off.
Completing a Wellness Check at School
If you don't complete the wellness check at home prior to arriving at school, you will be prompted to submit one before check-in in your student.
Regardless of what check-in method you're using (QR code, PIN code, contactless signing, or using a teacher device), you will still be prompted to complete the wellness check before being able to sign for your child.
