Everyone has a dream. But sometimes there’s a gap between where we are and where we want to be. True, there are some people who can bridge that gap easily, on their own, but all of us need a little help at some point. A little boost. An accountability partner. A Snooze Squad. In each episode, the Snooze Squad will strategize an action plan for people to face their fears. Guests will transform their own perception of their potential and walk away a few inches closer to who they want to become ...

Many schools are already back in session for the Fall of 2021. However, the Delta variant appears to have its own agenda. Thus far, in the south, thousands of students have been forced back into virtual or hybrid learning to navigate flareups of COVID-19. Each time a student or teacher is diagnosed with COVID, it takes schools time and resources to determine who’s been near the COVID positive patient and who now needs to quarantine. Administrators can accomplish the task manually by pulling schedules, going to each class, and sorting through who sits next to who. Or they can work through a clunky SIS (Student Information Systems) interface and try to determine who may have been exposed. But SchoolStatus customers have a much more efficient tool. Over the past couple of months, the K-12 software company built-in contact tracing and quarantine reports that can be generated with the click of a button. “We just want to give them a place to start,” says SchoolStatus CEO Russ Davis. “The key is to get the students out of class as quickly as possible.” SchoolStatus already works with school districts in more than a dozen states. Their software integrates with existing SIS and harnesses that data in a user-friendly way. They also have robust communications tools that connect millions of teachers to parents each day. Davis says that adding contact tracing and quarantine tools just felt like the right thing to do. Schools can now click a button and build a report that shows who has a class with a COVID-19 positive student. They can also click another button when a student needs to quarantine, which generates a report on when students should return to school. “Basically, it’s a central clearinghouse to store this information to store this data. As opposed to keeping sensitive health data in a large Google spreadsheet,” says Davis. “So not only do you have a place to find the students who should be quarantined but have a place to store their quarantine information.” Davis says the information is also logged and recorded, so you can see who’s looked at it and when. To hear our entire conversation with Davis and learn more about how SchoolStatus is helping districts navigate COVID-19, listen to Episode 201 of Class Dismissed.
