How-to guide
Leave
Apply for, approve and reject leave — and set approvers.
A task-focused guide: follow the steps when you need to get something done.
Leave lets students, teachers and staff request time off, and lets administrators (and chosen approvers) approve or reject it.
Applying for leave
- Open Leave.
- Choose the dates and enter a reason.
- Submit.
Your application is sent to the school’s approvers. Students on approved leave are automatically skipped by the absence sweep, so they won’t be marked absent or receive an absence SMS.
Approving or rejecting leave
- Open Leave (administrator, accountant, or a configured approver).
- Open the Pending tab.
- Review each application and approve or reject (you can add a note).
The applicant sees the decision on their Leave screen.
Setting approvers (administrator)
By default, only administrators can approve or reject leave. To delegate:
- Open the leave settings (in the Leave screen).
- Choose which specific users may approve/reject leave.
Administrators can always approve and reject regardless of this setting.
Who can apply
Students, teachers, staff, librarians and accountants can all apply for their own leave. The Leave tab appears whenever attendance is enabled for the school.
Tips
- Set approvers early so applications don’t pile up waiting on one person.
- Approve leave before the day closes so the absence sweep skips the student.
