Reach Parent App - Leave Requests
Parents are able to submit, edit and approve/decline leave requests for their student(s) through the Reach Student Life Mobile App. The home screen of the Reach Parent App highlights the Activity Metrics, which displays a snapshot of up-coming leave requests and their approval status.
Viewing Existing Leaves
The Activity Metrics widget on the parent's home screen displays their student's current Pending and Approved leaves, as well as their next upcoming leave. Selecting
Leave

Manage Leave
screen, providing an array of filter and sorting options for students to view their current and past leave requests. Quick filtering for
Approved, Pending, On Leave
and
Rejected
leaves can be accomplished by selecting one of the 4 corresponding color rectangles at the top of Manage Leave. Along the top right of the screen, you have the ability to search, filter and sort by additional details. Easily see an at-a-glance view of where each leave request is in its approval process with the leave actor icons displaying Orange for Pending, Green for Approved, Red for Rejected and Blue for an Approval by Another and Purple for Override.
Clicking on a leave request will display a variety of options to view, including the main details of the leave request, if any special meals accommodations were scheduled due to the leave timing, notes entered regarding the leave and the complete audit trail of the leave's approval process.
