Guidance on Recording Attendance on POS Machines During COVID-19

Guidance on recording attendance on POS machines during COVID-19  

1. Please remember you have some flexibility in how often parents must swipe.  Parents have up to 10 days from the date of attendance to record swipes.  You can set up a plan to stagger the days in which parents complete swipes.  
2. You have permission to disconnect the POS machine from the phone line and move the machine to an external location where parents can record swipes.  However, the machine must be plugged into an electrical source.  This will allow for the swipes to be stored in the machine.  When you plug the machine back into the phone line the swipes will transmit. For example, if parents are required to pick up children at their vehicles, you can use an extension cord to allow for swipes outside.
3. You have permission to move the POS machine to an office or some other space where care is not provided.  If there is not a phone line in the alternate space, you can store the swipes on the machine as long as there is an electrical source.
