The voice options are also critical when the child is indoors, as GPS does not work indoors. The parent can get a better understanding of the child’s location and guide them to safety.
Schools generally welcome the AngelSense solution and many are using AngelSense during school to help keep the child safe and locate them quickly in case they wander. In some cases, school staff requests parents to use 2-Way Voice to help calm down the child in case of severe meltdowns.
Some schools request the parents to use the voice features in an emergency only. Other schools require that the voice features are disabled during school hours to comply with school policies against electronic devices.
For schools that require disabling the voice features, AngelSense provides an automated mechanism to disable the voice features according to a predefined schedule specifying school days and school hours.
Once defined, the school and parents need to agree on who can change the School Schedule (including enabling it immediately for the same day). In all cases, all parties can receive a notification each time the voice features are enabled/disabled as well as each time the School Schedule itself is changed.
The recommended option that assures maximum safety, is to allow the parent to control the schedule since all parties receive a notification for the change. In our experience, in emergency situations, an experienced user of the app must be able to quickly enable the features and use them, e.g. use 2-Way Voice to help guide the child.
The school hours are determined by the times and dates set up in the School Schedule.
Primary Guardians have the ability to Add, Edit, and Delete School Guardians and also set up the School Schedule from their Menu. There is no limit to the number of School Guardians you can have.
School Guardians can be given, by the parent, any of the following options:
