Student Self Check-In
Sometimes students are on their own–but still safe. Students can check themselves in when they're off-site, studying independently, out to lunch, etc.
Student Self Check-In helps you gain 100% accountability even when students are on their own. Via text message, students receive one-time-use links, eliminating the need for accounts or prior knowledge. Effortless and inclusive check-ins for everyone.
Seamless group-wide messaging
Share critical information with your team with group-wide messaging. Send instructions, answer questions, make decisions, and more.
School administrators have a private chat area for more sensitive discussions. Teachers can send messages to this chat, without viewing administrators' discrete conversations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question listed here? Get in touch with our team and we'll be happy to help.
Yes! We know when staff members are active in Ruvna, and if they become active during an emergency we check them in as well. With our new Visitor Management integration, visitors checked in through the system are also accounted for during emergencies. Users and visitors that do not become active are displayed to administrators/law enforcement and can be manually checked in.
Any device that connects to the internet can be used with Ruvna. Any computer, tablet, or cell phone will work. If a teacher doesn't have their device, any other accessible device (like a student's phone) is sufficient. In the unlikely event that no one in a class has a device, any other Ruvna user can change their view on their device to become another teacher's roster, and use that for checking students in.
Using Ruvna, teachers quickly check-in their students so everyone knows that they are safe. Any additional students that join the classroom get checked-in as well, alerting the appropriate staff and personnel automatically. Administrators follow along live to see exactly which students are safe, who has not been checked-in yet, and who might need help. With the Visitor Management integration, this now includes visitors on campus as well.
TL;DR - Ruvna uses "process of elimination" to show you a live snapshot of who is missing at all times during an event, including students, staff, and visitors.
Without Ruvna, that student's teacher (along with the school) likely wouldn't know where the student is, or even that the student is missing. With Ruvna, if the student is with a different staff member, their teacher will receive a notification letting them know the student is safe. If the student is not with another staff member, they will be one of the "remaining students", and displayed immediately to administrators and law enforcement to be found.
Schools can also utilize Student Self Check-In to send students single-use links which let them check-in or get help without logging into an account or requiring any prior training with Ruvna at all.
Ruvna syncs teachers and rosters from your SIS daily to keep your data current. For absent students, schools can either manually input this information into Ruvna or, depending on their setup, may have the option to sync attendance data from their SIS. During an emergency, Ruvna helps you quickly distinguish between absent students and those who need to be accounted for, streamlining your response efforts.
Our Visitor Management system is now fully integrated with Accountability at no additional cost. During an emergency or drill, visitor information is automatically included in the Accountability system. This means you can track and communicate with visitors just as you do with students and staff, ensuring complete campus-wide accountability.
Yes, similar to our Student Self Check-In feature, visitors can receive single-use links via text message to check themselves in or request help during an emergency. This ensures that even if visitors are separated from staff, they can still be accounted for and receive critical information.
Our Visitor Management system includes a bulk upload feature that allows you to easily import visitor information for large events like parent-teacher conferences or graduation ceremonies. During an emergency, all these visitors can be quickly accounted for through the Accountability system.
