Top 5 reasons why schools love the Confidential Student Sign-In Book

by Paul Kazlauskas

One of the most frustrating problems in today’s classrooms is tardiness. Not only do students lose valuable educational instruction when they arrive late, but they disrupt the educational environment and distract others who are in the class. Schools need to document those students that come late to class or school. However, not all schools require a tardy slip to be carried by the student from the front office to their classroom. Don’t need a tardy pass? Try the Confidential Student Sign-In Book. For schools that don’t require a tardy slip to be carried by the students, the Confidential Student Sign-In Book provides many valuable benefits to confidentially signing in students who show up late for school.

The product is a two-part, carbonless form that performs two jobs in one step - the white first part contains a "blockout" pattern on all names to protect the confidentiality of those signing in. The yellow second part provides an automatic duplicate record that lets only the school administrators see the names that are "blocked out" on the white first part. The right side of the set is glued together as an additional confidentiality measure, protecting against peeking inside.

Here are the top 5 reasons why schools love the Confidential Student Sign-In Book…

1. Confidentiality. Students write their name on the “blockout” pattern on the top sheet, making that information unreadable to ensure student privacy. Subsequent students who sign in late can’t see who signed in ahead of them. All student names are readable on the 2nd sheet (for office use only).
2. Duplicate Log. The second sheet keeps a readable record, so you’ll know now, and months later, when a student came in late and for what reason. There is no “blockout” pattern on the duplicate log.
3. Sealed Right Edge. The right edges of the original sheet and duplicate sheet are sealed together to prevent snooping. There is no way to read the duplicate record until you open the sealed right edge.
4. Portability. The sign-in sheets are wirebound into a portable book. In case of an emergency evacuation, you’ll know which students signed in late and may still be in the school.
5. Customization. Your school name and mascot makes this sign-in form your own. Proudly promote your school’s identity.
