> Log a child’s leave or a staff member’s request and approve it, and the attendance register corrects itself. Cancel the leave and only those marks go back.

## Leave requests

Approve once, the register follows. Absent becomes excused or medical without anyone editing the sheet.

How it works

## Leave that fixes the register itself.

Here is a sick note, from the parent’s diary to the attendance sheet.

### A child’s leave

- **Log the request.** The office or class teacher notes it for the family: sick, family or other.

- **Approve it,** or reject it with a reason. Each request is kept with who decided.

- **The register corrects itself.** Absent marks on those days turn medical or excused. Days ahead are filled in.

- **Cancel if plans change.** Only the marks the approval wrote go back.

### It never invents a day

Approval changes the marks that exist and fills the days ahead. It never marks a day nobody took.

### School days only

Leave is counted on the [school calendar](https://scoolin.com/features/school-calendar) . A request across a holiday week counts only school days, and one with no school day in it is refused.

### For staff too

Staff apply for themselves, and approved leave lines up substitute cover. See [Staff leave](https://scoolin.com/features/staff-leave) .

### Parents

### Can parents apply from an app?

Not yet; parent logins are coming. Today the office or the class teacher logs the request.

### Approving

### Who approves a child’s leave?

A teacher of that section, the principal or an admin.

### Overlaps

### What if two requests cover the same days?

The second is refused, so a day is never on leave twice.

### Register

### How does approved leave show on the register?

As medical for sick leave and excused for the rest, on the daily sheet and in the month.
