Don't Take Our Word For It
Here are some quotes, extracted from the post implementation interviews we perform at every customer site. The results simply speak for themselves.
Consistent Application of Discipline Policies
“Big load was taken off the teachers plates. Since the students see the computer system tracking them now they take it more seriously”
Amanda Miles, Administrative Dean, Boone High School, FL
“We need a consistent message that kids can't learn if they aren't in class, and using this (PlascoTrac) system sends a message that tardiness is something we are not in favor of.”
-Nathaniel Rousse, Principal, Oak Park & River Forest High School, IL.
“Some teachers wouldn’t write up the students. Using PlascoTrac the student knows what is going to happen if they are tardy.”
Jokay Beatty, Attendance Secretary, Switzerland Co. High School, IN.
“What I like is that every student is held to same standard. Whether they are an F or A student, they are given an immediate consequence.”
Dr. Bafilio Salazar, Assistant Principal, Dundee-Crown High School IL.
A Culture of Accountability
“I started here in 1990...first year where tardies are virtually nonexistent. It took a few days for the students to get the idea that they can't be late and then poof...they are almost always on time. It is an excellent system.”
Alexis Eckersall, Glenbard East High School, IL
“After first period is done, we simply have no more tardies to speak of.”
Shawn Posey, Principal at Creekside Middle School, IN
“The Inevitability, accuracy and quick processing of tardies has made our students more accountable.”
Britt Bauer, Assistant Principal, Kimmons Junior High, AR
Before “Teachers Referrals”
After “Much better tracking and accountability!”
Kim Dever, Director of Deans, Hinsdale Central, IL
“The system provides a great amount of accountability and consistency for the students.”
Cara Cerecerez, Assistant Principal, Alta Loma High School, CA
Gain more teaching time
“Prior to PlascoTrac teachers needed to take tardy counts and enter them into the database. Teachers no longer have to take valuable teaching time to deal with recording tardiness.”
Chris Newkirk, Investigations Coordinator, MSD of Pike Township, IN
“Teachers have their kids longer and are not constantly disrupted by students being chronically late.”
Dr. Bafilio Salazar, Assistant Principal, Dundee-Crown High School IL.
“Teachers love that tardiness does not have to be tracked by them. They just open the door, bring the students in and continue teaching.”
Stacey Tracy, Assistant Principal, Neosho High School, MO
Your Hallways Will Be Clearer & Quieter
“Student’s sense of urgency, clear hallways, less tardiness.”
Don Holmes, Dean of Students, Hillcrest High School IL.
“Before PlascoTrac you could find 50-60 students roaming the halls. With PlascoTrac our halls are ‘ghost town.’
Teachers say they can’t remember a time that the halls were so clear and empty.”
Chris Newkirk, Investigations Coordinator, MSD of Pike Township, IN
“It’s unbelievable that, when the bell rings, no one is in the hall, in 10 to 15 minutes, all the students are in class and office staff can move on to other things, like answering parent phone calls.”
Dr. Bafilio Salazar, Assistant Principal, Dundee-Crown High School IL.
“Kids hustle to class and the halls are empty when the bell rings.”
Sal Rodriguez, North Miami Senior High, FL
"There are students who use to hang out by the lockers and wait for the bell now they are getting to class on time."
Darren McKinney, Assistant Principal, Darby Junior High, AR
A New Level Of Clarity and Credibility

Josh Chambers, Assistant Principal, Glenbard East, IL
“Definite decrease in tardiness and more accurate record keeping”

Doing More With Less - Save Time, Increase Efficiency

-Stacey Tracy, Assistant Principal, Neosho High School, MO
“PlascoTrac eliminates the tedious paperwork and long lines outside the main office.”
Sgt. Kenneth Pinkney, Director of Student Intervention, Memphis City Schools

- Britt Bauer, Assistant Principal, Kimmons JH, AR
“A large part of the morning was taken up with paperwork for tardy students and class time was missed. Now students are off to class in minutes.”
