This document describes the updates for Enriching Students and Student Pass for April, 2025.  Additionally, we are releasing a new product for district admins.

Enriching Students

No Longer Requiring Homebase Teacher

When saving a student, we have always required that a school select a homebase staffer.  This was used to support various features in the application, including various reports

However, there are a number of schools that don't have the concept of a homebase teacher, at least, not within Enriching Students.  Not having this value made it difficult to edit a student record.

The field is no longer required.  It can be used if a school wants it, but it is no longer required.

Student Pass

Queued Passes

There are several reasons why a student might not be allowed to have a pass.

• The location the student is looking to visit is at capacity
• There are students out with passes that prevent the pass from being granted

Currently, Student Pass simply doesn't allow a pass to be created.  However, with this release, instead of the process just returning an error status, the staffer will have the option to place the pass into a queue.  

The pass will stay in the queue for 10 minutes.  If within that 10 minutes, the circumstances change enough to allow the student to have the pass, the pass will be activated and the student will be notified.  If 10 minutes go by and the pass still cannot be granted, the queued pass will be cancelled.

Kiosk Mode

Schools have asked for students to be able to create their own passes, but under the supervision of a staffer.  To that end, we have created a Kiosk Mode for Student Pass.

In order for this feature to work, a device will have to be available in the classroom that both the staffer and students will have access to.

Once logged on to Enriching Students, from the Dashboard, click the "MY STUDENT PASSES" option.  From their, click the KIOSK MODE button.

You will be asked to create a 6 digit PIN.  The PIN will be required in order to take the site out of Kiosk mode.  This prevents the students from accessing the other features of Enriching Students.  If you forget the PIN, simply log off and back on to Enriching Students.

In Kiosk mode, students will be able to provide either their email address or their SIS Id.  The process runs the same checks that are run when a staffer creates the pass:

• Is the location at capacity
• Are there any students out with passes that would prevent the current student from receiving a pass

If there are no conflicts, the student is granted a pass.

If there are conflicts, the request is placed into a queue. The same rules apply here as described above.

District Admin View

This new application is designed for District Admins to receive an overview of how Enriching Students is being used across all of the schools within the district.  It provides feedback on:

• The number of appointments created across all of the schools in the district
• The number of unscheduled students
• Percentage of appointments where attendance has been taken
• The number of licenses purchased by school and the number being used
• Number of appointments by school
• Number of adjusted offerings created by school
• Number of appointment types and attendance types in use, by school
• The ability to drill down to specific schools to view details
• And much more

This new view will provide tremendous insight at the district level, on how Enriching Students is benefiting each school in the district.  To activate this feature, please open a support ticket.

Once the feature has been activated, existing district admins will be able to manage who else can access the new application.
