How to use the Restrictions Modal to Gate or Ground students

Gating or Grounding students is done on the Restrictions Modal which allows you to apply multiple restrictions in combination or individually depending on the protocols that you implement in your operations.

There are 4 sections to the Restrictions Modal

1. Restrictions
   Applying your dates and restriction types
2. General Notes
   The note that is saved as part of the pastoral record on the student’s profile. This note is also the note that will be shared with students, parents and staff.  
3. Notifications
   Who you send the General Notes message to
4. Gating History
   A view of the restrictions history for the student

  1. Restrictions Tab - Applying your restrictions

The Restrictions Tab provides the range of restrictions that you have available to implement. It will also display and current restrictions that may already be in place.

1.  Set the Date Range for the restriction that you want to apply.
   
   Note that leaving the end time blank will implement an indefinite restriction with no expiry time.  
   
   
   
2. Select which restrictions you want to apply the Date-Time Range to using the selection boxes. Selected item fields will turn white when selected.
   Note that any existing restrictions will already appear in the display screen however you can select an existing restriction and apply your current Date-Time range the existing restriction in order to extend it or replace it.  
3. Apply the Date-Time range set by clicking on the Row Arrow for the restrictions that you want to apply.
    
4. Provide a quick Reference note if you want to have a quick reference for the action.
   The quick reference note is not the note message that will be shared with the student, parents and staff.   This note is for quick reference in case you or other staff open the Restrictions Modal before it expires, allowing your to quickly understand why the restriction was applied without having to reference the restriction pastoral record.

  2. General Note Tab – Prepare the note to be recorded

The General Note tab is the note that will be recorded with the Pastoral record for the restriction being applied.   It is also the note that will be shared with the student by default and with parents or staff by selection.

Details of the restriction date and timeframe will also form part of this note that is recorded and published to the designated recipients.

  3.   Notifications Tab – Set who will be notified

Students will be notified of any restrictions being applied by default however you also have the option to include notification to the Parents of the student and any staff members that you would like to directly inform about the restriction being placed.

The note that will be shared with these recipients in the contents of the General Note tab.

  4.  History Tab – View the restrictions history of a student

The History tab will display the restrictions history of a student for quick review. This can often be useful when applying new restrictions to view and understand why previous restrictions have been applied, or why previous restrictions may have been applied.

You can also view a student’s restriction history by searching for restriction category pastoral notes in their profile or by producing a Pastoral Records Report in your Reporting - Instant reports menu.
