Creating Curb-to-curb Stops

A Curb-to-Curb Stop has to be set by a student’s residence. In other words, it is a Stop that has the same address as the student’s home. This is often due to the student’s special needs but there might be other reasons such as the isolation of residences in rural areas.

Compass customers have the option to quickly create Curb-to-Curb Stops with the Student Management tool, instead of the Stop Management tool as it might be expected. The Student Management tool is accessed by clicking on the Students tab.

Finding and Selecting Students

Before creating Curb-to-Curb Stops, users need to select the Students to whom such Stops will be assigned. To review how to find Students, read the tutorial Finding Existing Students.

Once the search is done, users can select the Students from the resulting search list by checking off the selection box next to their Student ID. The selected Student will be highlighted in yellow. By clicking the search icon (magnifier) in the list, or the corresponding Student icon on the map, a window showing Student’s information is displayed on the Student’s residence location.

Since matching Students are disclosed in the map on their residence locations, these can also be selected there with the Select tool. To do so:

  • You might need to zoom in first to isolate the Student and make the selection easier. Use the Zoom in or the Marquee Zoom In to isolate the Student.
  • Select the Student in the Search Results list or click the Select tool in the Map toolbar and then click on the Student. You can select multiple Students at the same time by dragging the cursor so that you draw a rectangle that includes those Students. The color of the icon will switch from green to yellow in the Map to indicate that the Student has been selected.

Adding a Curb-to-Curb Stop

To create the Stop, make sure that the Student you want the Stop to be assigned to, and not other students, is selected. You can easily see this by checking the yellow color of the icon on the Map and/or the Student record in the search list. Then, click the Curb-to-Curb Stop button. A new dialog showing the fields required for the task appears.

Creating AM Stops

To create an AM Stop, proceed to the left section of the presented dialog and follow these steps:

  • Select Create AM Stops if the Student is going to be Picked Up at this Stop on the way to School.
  • Enter or select the Effective Date in the provided calendar.
  • Select End Previous AM Stop Assignments On if you want the previously assigned stops to be unlinked from the student.
  • Select the School Classification (General Education, Special Education, Magnet Program) from the provided drop-down menu.
  • Select School Schedule (Standard, Late In, Late Activity) from the provided drop-down menu.
  • Select the Stop Classification as appropriate (Administrative, No Auto Assign, Billable, Public Visible) by check-marking one or more of the provided boxes.
  • Click Copy Settings to PM Stops if you want to replicate the settings in the PM run.

Creating PM Stops

To create a PM Stop, proceed to the right section of the dialog and follow these steps:

  • Select Create PM Stops if the Student is going to be Dropped Off at this Stop on the way back from School.
  • Enter the Effective date.
  • Select End Previous PM Stop Assignments On if you want the previously assigned stops to be unlinked from the student.
  • Select the School Classification (General Education, Special Education, Magnet Program) from the provided drop-down menu.
  • Select School Schedule (Standard, Late In, Late Activity) from the provided drop-down menu.
  • Select the Stop Classification as appropriate (Administrative, No Auto Assign, Billable, Public Visible) by check-marking one or more of the provided boxes.
  • Click Copy Settings to AM Stops if applicable.

NOTE:

When creating Curb-to-Curb Stops, up to 1,000 students can be selected at the same time.

For students with more than one school assigned (i.e., Attending and Zoned, Enrolled or Summer schools) only the stops linked to the school selected in the Create Curb-to-Curb Stops dialog are unassigned during the process.

After creating Curb-to-Curb stops, the application provides a results report which holds two tables accessible under two different tabs. The first table lists Inconsistencies detected by the system (for example, when a student has no school assigned, and consequently stops can not be created), and the second one lists Stops Created.

NOTE:

  • The report lists a maximum of 10 records per page but navigation buttons are provided at the bottom of the list.
  • Entries can be sorted by clicking the column headers.
  • Entries can be filtered by entering even single characters pertaining to the corresponding parameters in the text boxes located under each column header.
  • The Curb-to-Curb Stops Results report can be downloaded as an excel file with the provided Download button in the upper right corner of the dialog.
