When something is wrong
A parent says they never get messages
Work out whether it is the number, the phone, or the scanning.
- 1Open the student’s record and check the guardian phone number. A typo here is the most common cause by a distance.
- 2Check the child is actually being scanned in the mornings. If the arrivals are being recorded by hand, or not at all, there is nothing to send.
- 3Ask the parent to check notifications are allowed for GatePass on their phone, and that battery saver is not blocking it.
- 4Check the parent has actually signed in to the app. A number on file is not the same as an app installed.
