How do I get access to my building/class?
Go to www.KiddConsulting.net and click on "Database Website." If you have an account, click "Login." If you do not remember your username or password, please contact Tricia@KiddConsulting.net. Do not create a new login if you have previously used the database system.
If you do not have an account, click on "Signup" and complete the information. Then email Tricia@KiddConsulting.net with your name and building(s), and you will be assigned.
How do you add students to a class?
Log in and click "View Class." If you are only assigned as Admin, you will need to select the building first. There are two ways you can add students:
1) FIRST, add all existing students (already in the database from a previous year) by choosing "Add Student" and selecting "Add Existing Students" at the bottom of the box. When a student was previously enrolled in the after-school or summer program, they are still in the system (and cannot be added again). A list will populate to select the student from.
2) If students are not previously entered into the system, Type in the student name, grade level, and student ID (typically a lunch number). NOTE: If you get an error message, the student already exists somewhere in the system. Contact Kidd Consulting Group if you receive this error.
What if a student exists, but the information (ID number, grade, spelling of name) is incorrect?
Click on the class list, then select "Edit Students." A list of students in the class will appear with their information. You can make the appropriate changes and then "submit changes." If a student registered, but never attended, they can be dropped from the class in this area as well.
How do I add attendance information?
Click on "Add Attendance Data" within the class.
Select all students who were present on the day you are entering information. NOTE: If you are entering information by grade, and each grade participated in different activities, select only students for that grade, complete steps 3-6, then go back and select the next batch of students.
Go to the bottom of the list of names. If the start time and end time are incorrect, you can edit them. This calculates the total number of minutes a student is present.
Click "Add Category" for each activity for which you are entering information (i.e. Math Enrichment, Snack/Meal, Social Emotional, etc.). NOTE: If you have two hours of programming, you MUST enter 120 minutes of activities.
Select the category and enter the total number of minutes for this activity. Keep repeating until all activities are entered.
Click "Apply to all," and the information will be applied to all students present that day. If a student left early, you can either edit the information in their individual record or add them separately.
How do you edit attendance if a mistake is made?
Click on the class that you wish to edit, class attendance history, and then the date of the data you wish to fix. Select "Enable Delete" at the top. There you have two choices:
1 - delete the entire class's data, or 2 - select the specific student and delete their entry. Once deleted, go back and re-enter the correct attendance information.
Can you make the start and end times specific to our building?
YES! This feature is specific to each building and can be edited by your building admin. Alternatively, contact Tricia with your desired time & she can edit it for you.
Can I view attendance reports for our building?
YES! You can view Building Attendance, Class Attendance History, or Activity Participation by using the report features above the list of student names (in each class).
