Steps to Success

  1. Once students book flights, they complete a form where they indicate the number of stages of their journey. Students will then proceed to fill out the details of each stage of their trip. Expected arrival times for each stage of the journey are available so that notifications can schedule accordingly.
  2. As students reach stage milestones during their trip, they receive texts and emails requesting that they check in. They can simply respond or click a button to confirm. If a student doesn’t check in at any step, additional attempts to reach them will occur to confirm the situation.
  3. Issues are identifiable when students don’t confirm that they’ve arrived at a destination. This may occur after a set delay, or when a student manually indicates that they’ve run into a major delay.
  4. When a student has submitted their initial travel schedule, a special link and a password will become available. Using the special link and password it allows for access to a page with their full travel details. Which students can then provide to their parents and/or guardians.
