Close the academy for a day

Public holidays and unplanned closures. Recording them keeps a closed day from looking like a bad day.

A day the academy is shut should never appear in your numbers as a day nobody turned up. Record it, and the system treats it as closed everywhere — attendance, follow-up tasks, and package expiry.

1. Open Academy Event

Reports → Academy Event, then Add Event.

2. Fill in the closure

• Title — what it is. "Hari Raya", "Pool maintenance", "Staff training".
• Type — a public holiday, an operational closure, or an ordinary event.

Only the closure types suppress classes.

• Date / Range — one day or a span. Multi-day and multi-year are both fine.
• Branches — which branches are affected. One branch closing does not close

the others.

Then Create.

What it changes

• No attendance is expected for that day, so your present rate is not

punished for a day nobody could attend.

• No follow-up tasks are generated for a public holiday.
• Package expiry can be compensated. A family that lost a week to a closure

can have their expiry pushed out — see Extend a package.

Events that are not closures

The same screen holds ordinary academy events — a gala, a recital, a parents' evening — so they show on the calendar. Those do not suppress classes. Choose the type deliberately: it is the difference between "the academy was shut" and "we had something on".
