Every school morning, parents ask the same quiet question: did my child get there safely?
At a MySentinel school, they don't have to wonder.
MySentinel brings safety, attendance and parent communication together, and it starts with one tap.
Each learner carries an NFC badge. One tap on the gate officer's phone, and their name and photo confirm it's the right child.
Straight away, a message goes to every registered guardian, by app, email, WhatsApp or SMS, in English, Afrikaans or isiZulu.
The office dashboard updates live, and attendance fills itself in.
In class, the register starts with what the gate already knows. Teachers confirm, submit, and get back to teaching.
Parents can send a sick note, or arrange for someone else to collect, from a private link. No app to install.
At home time, the officer sees exactly who may collect each child, and every guardian is told who did.
And if the worst ever happens, one lockdown alerts every gate, every teacher and every family at once.
It's built for South African schools: it keeps working without signal, every channel is included, and POPIA tools are built in.
MySentinel. Because every learner matters.

At the gate
One tap, the right child, every guardian told, and the right adult at home time.

Every school morning, parents ask the same quiet question: did my child get there safely?
At a MySentinel school, they don't have to wonder.
A clipboard at the gate can't tell a parent anything, and the office only finds out hours later.
MySentinel brings safety, attendance and parent communication together, and it starts with one tap.
Each learner carries an NFC badge. One tap on the gate officer's phone, and their name and photo confirm it's the right child.
Arriving or leaving? MySentinel works that out, and records it in a second.
Straight away, a message goes to every registered guardian, not just the one at the gate.
App notification first, then email, WhatsApp or SMS. It stops at the first that accepts, so families get one message, not three.
In English, Afrikaans or isiZulu.
At the same time, the office dashboard updates live, and the day's attendance fills itself in.
At home time, it works in reverse. The officer sees exactly who may collect each child.
Someone else collecting? The parent approves them, and they give a code at the gate. A barred adult? The phone says stop.
And every guardian is told who collected their child, and when.
No signal? The gate keeps working, and catches up later. And every channel is included, so nobody pays per message.

It's eight o'clock. Who, exactly, is on your campus right now?
With MySentinel, the answer is on one screen. Every tap at the gate updates it live: who's on site, who has left, and what needs you now.
Attendance comes straight from the gate. Latecomers are flagged against your own start time, and learners at risk of chronic absence stand out, before it becomes a pattern.
Teachers see only their own classes. The register starts with what the gate already knows: confirm who's in the room, mark the rest, and submit.
The office has it at once. No signal in the classroom? The register waits on the phone, and sends when it reconnects.
Parents can reach the school too, from a private link. No app, no password. A sick note, a late start, or someone else collecting: one button, and it reaches the right person.
And every message to every family is tracked, channel by channel, so you know who was reached.
On the day you hope never comes, one person starts a lockdown with their fingerprint.
Every gate, every teacher and every family is told at once. Emergency alerts ignore quiet hours, every time.
At the end of the day, one list shows anything still open. Every action is kept on a permanent record, with POPIA tools built in.
