Kiosk Printing- 3 classes, 1 child

For our Sunday mornings we have 3 time slots of options for kids. For example at 8:30 1 child can go to Childrens Church, then at 945 they may change to Sunday School, then they may stay for the 1100 Children Church again....

A teacher knows to look at their label to see if they are staying for the next session or if they are leaving after that session. The kids who are staying get moved to that next classroom. But the kids that are leaving stay with the teacher in their current classroom.

So we configured the kiosk to print 1 label per child and ran a test to see how those labels will print, and for each class they are getting 1 label. So if they stay for all 3 sessions, that child will have 3 stickers. (We have parents who are in the Praise Team for all sessions every couple of weeks so that would be the only kids who stay for all sessions.) But most kids stay for 2 sessions anyways. We also have about 150 individual kids each Sunday....

Below is our child stickers we used to use. I used my child's information, who is Tucker. This was set up on my computer so its confused on how to print without our Dymo printers template that we used to print these out on (so these sessions usually don't get cut off on the labels) (Also please note that our outdated data base system had to be programed with all of that information in order for us to set this up to print correctly, if we had our way this would simply say "8:30 Children's Church"). But the labels were 2" x 4", our pager number was used in case there was an issue with our child, they could display the number on the bottom of our projection screens during service. We used the code above as our security pick up numbers, these were auto generated each time someone checks in but the pager number is attached to that family and remains the same every time. It displays the parents name in case the parents lose their sticker for pick up and we can use that as a way to check their ID.

Believe it or not we did have a custody dispute and a parent who did not have access to pick up their child used an old label they found to pick up their child, so the auto generated security code is important to us. So glad you guys do that!

Below is what the parents sticker looked like as well.
