Your child's classes, absences and make-ups
What telling the school in advance really does, how a missed class turns into a credit, how to spend one, and where the coaches' notes are.
Written for parents
Your child's week is the classes they hold a seat in. “Upcoming classes” lists each one once, with the next date it falls on — not every date, just the next. What happened at those classes is a separate, read-only list: “Attendance” shows the recent marks for all your children, and the verdict there is the coach's. A day the school was told about in advance reads “away” rather than “absent”.
Saying they will miss one
How a credit appears
The register decides what you are owed, not the heads-up. Being marked absent and being away both earn one class back at most schools, though a school can choose to count only the days it was warned about. The number is never stored anywhere: it is the absences inside a rolling window, 30 days unless your school changed it, minus every make-up already attended, booked or waiting. So an absence quietly stops being worth anything the day it drops out of that window, and cancelling a booking puts its credit straight back.
Booking one back
- Open “Book Makeup” on the website, or follow the link the school messaged you, which lands on the right child.
- Read the count, then the “Scheduled make-ups” list under it: a make-up the office already booked has spent its credit, so zero can still mean your child is expected somewhere.
- Press “Schedule a make-up”.
- Set “Class” yourself. The list is the school's whole timetable in day order and it opens on the first class in it, which is rarely your child's.
- Pick “Date”. Only future dates of the class you chose are offered.
- Use “Add another class” if you hold more than one credit, then press “Schedule”.
When the school cancels a class
Sometimes it is the school that cannot make it. When a class is called off you receive a message with the reason, the session shows as “Cancelled by the school” on your schedule, no reminder is sent for it, and a make-up credit is added for your child straight away — before the date — so you can book a replacement class from the make-ups page.
What the coaches wrote down
“Progress history” sits in the app under “Account”, on your child's page, and on the website's “My Family” page: “Current skills” with a figure each, then every assessment a coach has logged, newest first, with their notes. It is yours to read, never to edit, and it exists only once a coach writes something. Nothing announces a new entry, so it is worth opening now and then rather than waiting to be told.
