Summary
SafeArrival receives attendance data from your SIS (student information system) which is foundational for SafeArrival notifications. SafeArrival has the ability to write-back attendance codes to your SIS. If you are utilizing write-back then you will need to set up a schedule when write-back will happen throughout the day. In SIS Settings you will mainly manage the write-back schedule.
NOTE: SIS Settings is not an option for a System Admin if you are NOT using write-back as a SafeArrival option.
System Admin will use SIS Settings Tab mainly to set up write-back schedule.
There are five tabs under SIS Settings. The main one you will work with will be Schools.
