Leave field guide
Upstream and downstream dependencies
- Upstream: leave needs a student in a batch.
- Downstream: an approved leave gives context to attendance, so a planned absence is understood rather than treated as an unexplained one.
Best practices
- Apply in advance. Leave is most useful when requested before the absence, not after.
- Give a clear reason. A short reason helps staff make a quick, fair decision.
- Decide promptly. A pending request leaves the family unsure; approve or reject without delay.
