Approve or deny schedule requests

When a family submits a vacation, a recurring change or a one-off request, it lands in Schedule requests. Directors and admins approve or deny each one. An approval applies the change for you.

Where it is. On the web, open Schedule requests at /admin/schedule-requests. In the app, open the School tab, then Parent requests, then Schedule requests.

What you see

The page opens on Pending. Use the filter at the top to switch between Pending, Approved, Denied and Canceled. Canceled means the family withdrew it before you decided.

Each row shows a status tag, a kind tag (Vacation, Recurring change or One-off), the student, the dates, the family's note and, for a recurring change, the weekdays they want.

Approve and Deny appear only on pending rows.

Decide

Select Approve or Deny. A dialog takes an optional note of up to 1,000 characters. Confirm to save. The decision applies right away.

• Approving a vacation records a planned absence for those days, so attendance doesn't flag the child.
• Approving a recurring change replaces the student's active weekly schedule with the new weekdays.
• Approving a one-off records the decision only. It doesn't change the schedule or add an absence.
• Denying closes the request with your note and changes nothing.

Not the director queue

These requests are structured. A free-text note a parent sends through Talk to a director goes to the director request queue, where nothing applies automatically.

For the family's side, see Request a schedule change or vacation.
