Family Record, Vacation Tab

The vacation option on the family record allows sites to track vacation or reservation requests. The vacation schedule for students allows administrators the ability to schedule when a student is going on vacation or going to be absent from the center.

• When vacation days are added, the family will not be charged for those days
• Reservation weeks will charge the family 1/2 of the week's tuition for the weeks that are entered
