Staff apply and get approval at /leave (balances and entitlements). Approving staff leave with a substitute teacher creates confirmed timetable cover rows for each published slot on working days. Students and parents request leave at /student-leave; class or co-class teachers approve. Parents open the form with ?childId= for the selected child.

  • /leave - staff applications, entitlement defaults, Principal/Admin approval; optional substitute on approve
  • /student-leave - student or parent request; homeroom (class / co-class) teacher approves or rejects
  • Parents - /student-leave?childId= (and studentId) to pre-select the child
  • Timetable - My substitutes and substitute arrangements cover periods for absent teachers
