• Record behaviour events with the ability to upload Photographic evidence.
• Log achievement for students coupled with a Photographic record of the work.
• View your own staff timetable and that of others in the school.
• See a range of summary reports.
• See whole school data across a variety of key areas of interest on the 'Today Screen'*.
• Locate any student at any time in the school day by looking at their timetable with direct access to any siblings also in school.
• Review individual students' attendance summaries for early intervention and to reduce absenteeism.

Emerge is now complimented by Emerge for Parents - see our website for more information on this exciting new service.


Usage scenarios;
• Take Registration wherever you are.
- On the PE field with no network coverage.
- On a school trip without relying on paper or a cumbersome laptop.
- In a temporary classroom without direct MIS access.

• Access student details wherever you are.
- Contact information for use in emergencies or just to engage with parents directly.
- Medical information including notes, conditions and dietary needs.

• Message parents wherever you are using Groupcall's Messenger service.
- Use custom groups to contact, for example, all parents of the football team directly from the traffic jam on the motorway to advise of a delayed return to school without relying on traditional telephone trees, or requiring a member of staff back at school to make the announcement.

• Record behaviour events with the ability to upload Photographic evidence.
- Information is sent back to the MIS for review by other staff and then saved for future analysis in behaviour management programs.


• Log achievement for students coupled with a Photographic record of the work.
- With appropriate configuration and control these events can be pushed to parents using our Emerge for Parents service in close to real time to improve parental engagement.
- Imagine how pleased a parent would be to know that their child did some good work during the day that they can then discuss with the child direct when they get home!

- Including
--- Daily and Yearly attendance,
--- Behaviour and Achievement events by type, activity, location and status
--- A list of students with birthdays for today.

• See whole school data across a variety of key areas of interest with the 'Today Screen'.
