Entering and Managing Closings

Once you’re signed in, you’ll be able to manage the closings status of your school(s) or organization(s).

Start by choosing the organization from the list.

The next page should look similar to this:

Use the top checkbox if your organization’s status is due to COVID.

You’ll want to set the first dropdown to set your organization’s status.

Gray Closings

Next, pick a date for the closing.

Gray Closings

If your closing is for a future date, choose “on” from the dropdown menu, then choose a date from the calendar.

Gray Closings

If your closing is for several days, choose “Through” from the dropdown menu, then select the end date from the calendar.

Gray Closings

If you aren’t sure how long you’ll need to set your organization’s status, select “until further notice” from the dropdown menu.

Gray Closings

You’ll be able to preview your closings status in the box below the submit button:

You’ll also have the option to choose a secondary status. This list can help provide additional information about your organization’s status. Note: The options you see in the image below may not match what you see when you’re logged in.

Gray Closings

Some locations will have the option to enter a unique secondary status.

Gray Closings

You’ll need to set a date for the status to disappear. If you choose Today or Tomorrow, this date will be generated automatically. Otherwise, you’ll need to choose a date from the calendar.

Gray Closings
