The integration between KinderConnect and Kangarootime will automatically upload the previous week's check-in and check-out times on a weekly basis, according to the specified day and time configured during the integration setup. However, if it is necessary to update KinderConnect with revised check-in and check-out times due to corrections made in Kangarootime or to account for any days or weeks not previously recorded, these times can be manually uploaded on a per-business or per student basis.
Keep in mind, Kangarootime sends the full names of those who created/last edited the attendances. Names are not restricted to parents/contacts. The names attached to the attendance will be the adult who last modified the attendance (created the check-in/out or last updated it), which could be a staff member or contact.
If you are unfamiliar with the KinderConnect integration, please see our KinderConnect integration overview.
Business Level Attendance Updates
- From the KinderConnect dashboard, click History
- Click the Upload button
- Enter your desired date range
- Click Upload
Once upload has been clicked, this will manually send attendance data to KinderConnect for all enabled schools.
Please note: Should you wish to only send data for a subset of your schools, go to the Schools tab and disable the integration by toggling off the Enabled toggle BEFORE you upload data. The integration can be turned off and on as needed, by school, at any time (just make sure the integration is re-enabled before the next automated upload if you wish for the upload to run for that school).
Student Level Attendance Updates
- From the KinerConnect Dashboard, click Students
- Select your School
- Search for the student whose attendance you wish to update
- Select the student
- Enter the start and end date
- Click Upload
Once the attendance records have been sent to KinderConnect, the transfer will be displayed via the History screen.
