Focus School Software has introduced check in and check out functionality. Check ins and check outs can be completed using kiosks located throughout schools or campuses. In addition to checking in and out of school through attendance, students may check in or out of the media center, counselors office, clinic, or other school location. Through the kiosk, this information is tracked, stored in a logging field, and used to update period attendance.
