Log for the whole room

When the whole room ate lunch or went down for a nap, you don't have to log each child one at a time. Teachers and school admins can log for a group, and each child gets their own entry on their timeline and daily report. To log one child, see Log a child's meals, naps and activities.

Log one thing for a group

On the web, open a classroom and select Log for room. In the app, open Room actions and choose Log for room, or tap Log — meal, nap, photo….

1. On the web, choose What happened?: Meal, Bottle, Nap, Photo, Observation or Note. In the app, tap Meal, Bottle, Nap, Bathroom, Activity or Note.
2. Choose Who? Check the children, or use All and None. In the app, Everyone in picks every child who is checked in, and Clear empties the list.
3. Fill in the details. A meal takes the meal and an amount; a bottle takes contents and ounces offered; a photo takes one or more pictures.
4. Add a note if you like, then select Log for and the number of children selected. In the app the button reads, for example, "Log meal for 6 children".

In the app, Photo and Incident in the same picker take you to their own forms. For an incident, see File an incident report.

The web dialog has a second tab, Dictate, where you type or paste what happened and Clear Day drafts the entries for you to review. Dictation is a Grow feature and may not be on yet for your school; see Dictate classroom events.

Meal board

The meal board is for a room where each child ate a different amount. Staff open it with Meal board on the web, or from Room actions in the app.

1. Choose the meal at the top. Clear Day fills in today's menu for that meal and lists every checked-in child.
2. Set each child's amount: None, Some, Half, Most or All. Set remaining to Half, Most or All fills in everyone you haven't set yet. Add a per-child note if needed.
3. Select Save. Only the rows you changed are saved, and the footer counts how many children are recorded.

If a child's allergy matches an item on the menu, the row flags it. If there's no menu for that meal, the board tells you to add one under School → Menus, or to log the meal from Log for room. In the app, the meal board is rolling out: if you don't see it yet, it isn't on for your school.

Sleep board

The sleep board is a live nap tracker. Open it with Sleep board on the web or in Room actions.

• Each child shows as Awake or asleep with a running timer. On the web, Start nap begins a child's nap and Wake up ends it. In the app, tap a child's card to switch them.
• All down starts a nap for everyone who's awake. All up wakes everyone who's sleeping.
• On the web the footer keeps a count: "3 asleep · 9 awake".

The sleep board tracks naps as they happen. It's separate from a Nap event you add to one child's timeline. In the app, the sleep board is rolling out: if you don't see this yet, it isn't on for your school.
