PCR Educator lets parents and students request leave, absences, early dismissals, and sign-outs from the portal or a phone, routes each request to the staff your policy names, and writes the approved leave to attendance and to the student's location. Teachers see verified absences on their roll, the front office sees who is expected off campus, and the whole history stays with the student for the year.
A parent requests a dentist appointment, a family trip, or a weekend away from the same portal that shows grades and the bill. A student requests a sign-out where policy allows. Each request carries dates, times, reason, destination, and who is collecting the student, so the front office is reading a record rather than a voicemail.
Day schools usually need a parent and the office. Boarding schools add the dorm parent and, for overnights, the dean or a host family. The routing follows your policy, each approval is stamped with who and when, and a request waiting on someone is visible to everyone who needs to know.
Once approved, the leave writes to daily and period attendance for the dates and periods it covers, with your own codes. The teacher taking roll sees an approved absence rather than an empty seat, the location record shows the student as on leave, and a late return is flagged to the people you choose.
Every request, approval, sign-out, and return lands on the student record, so attendance, the house roster, and the emergency roll all read the same answer to the question of where a student is.
Today's approved leave, expected sign-outs, and who is collecting whom, in one list, before the first parent arrives.
Approved absences appear on the period roll with the school's own code, so a teacher marks who is present and moves on.
Weekend and overnight requests queue for approval on a phone, with the parent's signature already visible.
Request, approve, and see the status of every leave from the portal, in their language, alongside the bill and the report card.
Yes. Parents request and approve leave from the family portal on any device, in their own language where the school serves international families. The request carries dates, times, reason, destination, and the adult collecting the student, and the parent can see its status at every step until the student is back on campus.
The approved leave writes to daily attendance and to period attendance for the periods it covers, using the school's own codes. Teachers see an approved absence on the roll rather than an unexplained one, and the student's location record shows them as on leave for those dates. Nobody re-enters the leave into the attendance grid, and teacher-entered rows are never overwritten.
Yes. Routing follows the school's policy: a parent and the office for a day school, and a parent, dorm parent, and dean for a boarding overnight, with a host family's confirmation where required. Each approval is stamped with the approver and the time, and a request waiting on someone is visible to the others in the chain.
Yes. Weekend, overnight, and holiday leave use the same request and approval workflow, with dorm staff approving from a phone and the house roster showing who is away, until when, and whether they are back. St. Luke's School, a boarding and day school of 880 students, runs all of its weekend leave through the portal.
The period roll already shows it. Because the leave is written to period attendance with the school's approved code, the teacher opening the roll for that period sees the student marked accordingly and does not need to check email or the office. The same record feeds the emergency roll, so a student on leave is pre-placed rather than listed as missing during a drill.
Yes. A kiosk sign-out with a reason code records where the student is going and when they are expected back, updates the student's location, and prints a pass where the school uses them. Programs and reason codes are the school's own (health office, counseling, library, off campus), so the record matches the policy already in the handbook. The student safety platform page shows how leave, check-in, and emergency roll call share one record.
