Rollover Step 1: Hardware

As the first and foundational step in the 2025 Rollover process, ensuring that your school has the required hardware in place is crucial. This step covers the ordering of any new RollCall scan media and devices that may be required for the upcoming academic year. Proper hardware ensures a smooth operational flow for attendance tracking and data capture in the RollCall system.

Key Benefits

Having up-to-date and functional RollCall hardware is essential for several reasons:

• Seamless Attendance Tracking: Ensure that every student has the required scan media to be quickly and accurately logged into the system.
• Data Accuracy: New hardware helps reduce errors that may arise from outdated or malfunctioning devices, ensuring the data collected is reliable.
• Scalability: With changes in student numbers or new bus routes, additional hardware may be required to handle the increased capacity.

Types of RollCall Hardware
