Parent Pager is a state-of-the-art security system that uses photo identification and digital pagers that are capable of receiving text messages.  Parents of kids Birth - 5 Years Old must use the Parent Pager system to Check-In their child prior to dropping them off in their classroom.  There are several Parent Pager Kiosks located throughout the Children’s Department.

All of the Parent Pager Kiosks are equipped with touch screen monitors.

When you first arrive, touch the button that says, “Check In/Out.”

Then press the “Child In” button.

At the next screen, begin typing in your family’s last name.

The screen will automatically jump to those names. 

When your family’s name is highlighted, press the “Check In” button.

On the next screen, you will need to touch the picture of the parent or other adult doing the check in.

Touch the picture(s) of the child(ren) being checked in.

Then press the “Next” button. 

On the final screen, pick up a pager and use the scanner to scan the barcode on top.

The scanner will beep indicating that the pager has been assigned to your family.

The pager is set to vibrate, so it needs to stay on your physical body.  There is a clip on the pager that is perfect for attaching the pager to your waist or pocket.

Please don’t clip the pager to your Bible or purse as this will make it difficult to feel if it should vibrate.

Parent Pager will print a Name Tag Sticker for each child that has been checked in.  Place the sticker on your child’s back.

This sticker provides our staff and volunteers with a quick reference of your child’s name, what classroom he/she belongs in, and any medical or special care instructions.

When the service is over, return to one of the Parent Pager Kiosks located in the Children’s Department. 

When you first arrive, touch the button that says, “Check In/Out.”

Then press the “Child Out” button.

Use the scanner to scan the barcode on top of your pager.  This will bring up your family’s pictures and information.

Touch the picture of the parent or adult doing the check out.

Then press the “Next” button.

On the final screen, press the “Finish” button.

This will check your child(ren) out of Parent Pager.

At this time, please return your pager to the pager box at the Kiosk.

Parent Pager will print a Check Out Sheet for each child that has been checked out.

On the Check Out Sheet is once again a picture of the child and of every adult authorized to pick up the child.

Take your child’s Check Out Sheet with you to their classroom and give it to the teacher or caregiver.  They will then release the child to your care.

If for any reason we need you during service or class, we can send you a text message.  Your pager is set to vibrate, so remember to keep it on your physical body at all times.

When the pager vibrates, press the green button over and over to scroll through the message.  You will never have to press the white buttons. 

Parent Pager will also print a Check In Sheet for each child that has been checked in.

On the Check In Sheet is a picture of the child and a picture of every adult authorized to pick up the child.  Special care instructions and other health information, such as allergies, can also be entered and will print every time the child is checked in.

Take your child’s Check In Sheet with you to their classroom and leave it with the teacher.
