Active students

Any student added directly to Playground from the Students tab is active by default. All active students and their families have the following functionality:

  • Guardians can check their student in and out

  • Guardians receive push notifications for posts to the feed

  • Guardians can view the feed

  • Guardians receive email correspondence for Announcements sent as an email

  • Guardians can pay balances in the app

  • Guardians can use the chat feature if it is enabled for the center

  • The student is listed on the default student roster and on all center reports where the student is relevant

  • You can create charges for this student

  • Guardians are able to pay towards their balance using the app

Inactive students

Students can be marked inactive in Playground. This is useful for keeping a student's profile and records after they have graduated or left your center. Student that apply to an enrollment listing are inactive by default until a classroom is assigned to the student.

  • Guardians cannot check this student in or out

  • Guardians will not receive push notifications for posts to the feed

  • Guardians will not receive emails for Announcement posts

  • Guardians cannot use the chat feature

  • Guardians can no longer view the feed

  • The student is not listed on the default student roster and on all center reports where the student is relevant. The roster can be filtered to include "Inactive students"

  • You can still charge a student that is inactive

  • Guardians are still able to pay towards their balance using the app
