iOS + Apple Watch · Built for Teachers

Get your prep
period back.

The classroom documentation tool built for how teachers actually work — captured on your wrist, completed on your time.

Log behavior incidents, hall passes, parent contacts, positive notes, and attendance in two taps from your Apple Watch — timestamped the moment they happen. Fill in the details later, when you actually have a minute.

Why It's Different

Documentation happens at the
worst possible time.

The moment worth documenting never waits for a convenient one. A student blows up mid-lesson. The same kid asks for a third bathroom pass before lunch. Something happens that you know you'll need a record of — and you're standing in front of thirty students with zero time to write it down.

So it goes on a sticky note. Or into your phone, which looks terrible in front of a class. Or — most often — it gets reconstructed from memory at four o'clock: vague, undated, and hard to stand behind when it matters.

PrepPeriod splits the job in two. Capture takes two taps on your Apple Watch, without interrupting class or pulling out your phone — and every entry is timestamped the moment it happens. Complete happens later: during your prep period, the app reminds you to add the details while they're still fresh.

The result is a clear, credible, timestamped record — the kind that holds up in parent conferences, IEP meetings, and conversations with administrators.

Free to download and use. Professional PDF reports are a one-time unlock — no subscription.


How It Works

Two taps now.
Details at prep.

Step 01
Capture in class

Raise your wrist, tap twice, done. Pick the student and the event type — behavior, hall pass, positive note, parent-contact reminder — and get back to teaching.

Step 02
🕐
Timestamped instantly

Every entry is stamped the moment you capture it — not when you finally got around to writing it up. That's what makes the record credible.

Step 03
✍️
Complete at prep

When your prep period comes around, PrepPeriod reminds you to fill in the details while the day is still fresh. A minute of typing, and the record is done.


Features

Everything you're already tracking.
Finally in one place.

Two-tap capture on Apple Watch

The whole app is built around one idea: documentation shouldn't interrupt teaching. Log any event in two taps from your wrist — no phone out, no laptop open, no losing the room.

📥
Capture now, complete at prep

Quick capture in class, details later. During your prep period, the app surfaces everything you logged and prompts you to complete each entry while it's still fresh in your mind.

🚪
Hall pass tracking

Bathroom, water, nurse — every pass logged with a tap and timed automatically. Patterns surface on their own, like a student who leaves your class more than any other.

📝
Behavior incidents & positive notes

Document the tough moments and the great ones. A balanced record of incidents and positive notes tells the real story of a student — and makes every conference more constructive.

📞
Parent-contact log

Record every call, email, and conversation — and its outcome. When someone asks "have you contacted the parents?", you'll have dates, times, and what was said.

🗓️
Attendance for real schedules

Take attendance in seconds — including rotating schedules and A/B days. PrepPeriod knows which classes meet today, so you don't have to think about it.

📄

FAQ

Common questions.

Do I need my phone in class?

No — that's the point. Capture happens entirely on your Apple Watch, in two taps, without pulling out your phone or turning away from your class. Your phone can stay in the drawer where your school probably wants it anyway.

What can I log from the watch?

Behavior incidents, positive notes, hall passes (bathroom, water, nurse), parent-contact reminders, and attendance. Each capture takes two taps and is timestamped the moment you make it.

What happens during my prep period?

PrepPeriod reminds you to complete the entries you captured during class. Each one already has the who, what, and exactly when — you just add the details while they're still fresh.

Can I use it without an Apple Watch?

Yes. Everything works on iPhone too — capture, completion, attendance, and reports. The watch is what makes in-the-moment capture effortless, but it isn't required.

Where is student data stored?

On your own devices, synced privately through your personal iCloud account. There are no accounts to create and no servers involved — Fogarty Holdings never sees or stores your classroom records.

Does it handle rotating or A/B schedules?

Yes. Set up your rotation once and PrepPeriod knows which classes meet on which day — attendance and capture always show the right roster for today.

What are the PDF reports for?

Parent conferences, IEP meetings, and administrator discussions. A report pulls a student's full timestamped history — incidents, positives, passes, parent contacts — into a clean, printable document you can stand behind.

Is there a subscription?

No. PrepPeriod is free to download and use every day. Professional PDF reports are a single one-time unlock, handled entirely by Apple — pay once and it's yours on every device signed into your Apple ID.
