This can occur if the Ipad has not been logged out for some time (days). Here is the fix:

1. Delete the App
2. Reinstall from itunes
3. Authenticate using any Admin credential (Admin login and password)
4. Teacher can then login normally using own credentials.

Select the student in the list. Click “Edit” at the top right of the child’s profile. Then choose the parent and caregiver you would like to update. Find the toggle at the bottom of the caregiver information screen and ensure that text and/or email preference is correct. The toggle should be positioned to the right. When enabled the parent will receive a text and/or email on arrival and dismissal of the student.

The parent user can login and disable messaging or the Admin can login to any profile and change the communication preferences for that individual. The receiver of an unwanted text message can also reply with any of: STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT. However, it is preferable to login and change user preferences.

Use the parents information in the absence of caregiver information or fill with “Update”.

If you logging in for the first time, check to see if the login screen asks for admin login. The admin must enter their credentials to verify that the device is registered to the account.  Once registered, the App can be used by its user.

Each caregiver needs the following details (required):

• If a nanny does not have an email, please use the mobile phone email (free)If you don’t know the mobile phone carrier, first check it HEREThen use the number and carrier suffix as follows:
• Alltel: phonenumber@message.alltel.com
• AT&T: phonenumber@txt.att.net
• T-Mobile: phonenumber@tmomail.net
• Virgin Mobile: phonenumber@vmobl.com
• Sprint: phonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com

GoPad is an attendance app but also provides key security features including caregiver management and communication tools such as text and email to parents and emergency features that can be customized for each user needs.

Lockdown and evacuation alerts are a key feature of the GoPad Secure App. Administrators can initiate lockdown or evacuation alerts which trigger an alarm on every Ipad and instructions to staff which are customized for their location.

GoPad was built for Apple iPads however Administrators can access their system via any recent web browser on any device.

Mass text and e-mail alert is provided by GoPad Secure to all clients. This allows for Administrators to send mass alerts to parents in the case of emergency or just for need to know items such as weather or construction events that may affect program or schedules. Group alerts by text are also available for notices to staff.

GoPad collects all attendance data on its cloud servers. Data filters allow the administrator to run custom reports or download data to spreadsheets. Reports can be run down to individual student level. Reports also are available for staff attendance.

GoPad was designed originally to comply with New York City Department of Health standards (Article 47). These standards include identifying all caregiver information and storing this information on site. The standards also include the ability to report and record absent children daily. GoPad Secure addresses these key compliance goals and continues to address compliance goals with local and state authorities.

The world has changed. We all have a constant flow of important and not so important (junk) email. When it comes to our children, we need to get the message fast. Text messaging is seen and opened about 10 times faster than email and is more likely to be seen. Read MORE HERE

GoPad syncs with the cloud server when internet is available but it is not required to function. Once the app has refreshed each morning, it no longer needs to be connected to log data. This allows users to take the iPad on a field trip or outdoors and still have access to key information including children’s medical precautions and contact details for parents and caregivers. If a child is dismissed from an outside location, the record will be synced whenever the iPad regains internet connection back in its home location.
