How to set up and use

  1. Create a new room for the lunch detention or afterschool detention (or both) and give it a name that works for your school.

  2. Customize the room settings based on the staff that needs to be in the room.

  3. As needed, create a non-declinable future pass to this room for each student who needs to serve lunch detention, specifying the date and time.

    1. Students will receive a notification on their device indicating the date and time of their detention. They will also get a reminder of this pass to ensure they don't miss their detention.

  4. If applicable, students should check in with their teacher or admin prior to going to detention.

  5. Ensure your admin staff know how to search this data and pull reports of these detention passes to track patterns. This data is great to drive conversations and interventions.
