Every child goes home with the right adult. You will see how the gate checks who may collect a child, and how visitors are signed in and out.

> **Note:** Sign in to HTT Schools as an administrator of your school to follow these steps.

*Step 2: Find the child*

### 3. Who may collect

May collect lists the adults the parents have authorised, with their relationship and phone number. If the adult at the gate is on the list, press Release beside their name — the time and the person are written down.

### 4. A day pass

Someone not on the list? The office can issue a day pass for just today, with a six-digit code the collector shows at the gate.

### 5. Visitors

The Visitors tab is the gate’s visitor book. It shows everyone on site who has not yet signed out.

*Step 5: Visitors*

### 6. Sign a visitor in

Press Sign a visitor in. Write their name, why they have come and who they are here to see, the ID they showed, and the badge you gave them.

*Step 6: Sign a visitor in*

### 7. Sign them out

When they leave, press Sign out. The day’s book keeps every visit, so a visit can always be traced later.
