Minga, an app that carries digital IDs and school event check-ins, added a new feature.

First implemented at Creek in the spring of 2023, Minga aims to simplify and enhance digital school management. At the beginning of this school year, the administration decided to use the app to track students’ whereabouts during access.

Teachers can grant hall passes for students instead of using a manual sign-out sheet, allowing them to keep track of their students and ensure they’re not roaming the hallways during access.

Activities Director Kelly Prevost thinks that this app has been an absolute time saver.

“I think it’s pretty easy,” junior Eli Fliegleman said. “You just scan out with the teacher of your advisory, you walk to the person you need to go see, you scan in, and then you’re good.”

Currently, Prevost is working to get everyone accustomed to using Minga and resolving the technical issues before considering further updates for the app.

“The first week was a little bit rough,” science teacher Alexandra Bak said. “But it gets better every week, and I think we’ve just about got it figured out now.”
