In schools, Ident-A-Kid improves safety and security with its award-winning iVisitor Management (IVM) software designed to manage all school traffic including staff, student tardies, and visitors. IVM’s automatic sex offender background checks, custom banned persons lists, and custody issue checks alert school staff before unwanted individuals enter campus. Thousands of schools nationwide use IVM because it is comprehensive, easy to use, and efficient. IVM continued to evolve during the pandemic, helping schools monitor students and staff through wellness screenings and contact tracing, and even going mobile to minimize foot traffic and contact points throughout campus. Pinellas County Schools (PCS) in Florida utilizes IVM in all their 132 schools. Dennis Russo, PCS’s Safety and Security Administrator said “We were able to monitor all of our 15,000 employees during the pandemic using IVM’s remote feature”.
Ident-A-Kid continues to focus on innovative technology solutions that are missing within most schools today. This year they are rolling out their new digital school ID app, MySchool ID™ (MSID), which replaces a traditional student ID with a digital ID on students’ mobile phones. MSID also has emergency management functionality, like “Need Help” and “I’m Safe” buttons students use in case of an emergency. These buttons update rosters and emergency reports in real-time to help administrators and first responders act quickly during emergencies. “We are bringing identification into the new digital era. Students are empowered to respond during active emergencies, allowing staff to respond quickly to the need for help” says Emily Fellouzis, Ident-A-Kid’s COO.
