• Select the date of the class that needs to be canceled.
• Click “Cancel for this day.”
  

• Enter a cancellation reason in the “Optional Comments” field if you wish.
• Select the option(s) to send an Email Notification, SMS Message, or both to families about the canceled class if you wish to do so.
  • If "Email" is selected as the Notification Method, the system will use the email template under SETTINGS>SETUP>GENERAL SETTINGS>COMMUNICATION TEMPLATES>OFFICE PORTAL>"Class Canceled."
  • If "SMS/Text Message" is enabled as the Notification Method, the system will send a message using the following text (with variables replaced accordingly):
    • "Your [[class_name]] meeting at [[class_schedule]] for [[student_name]] has been canceled for [[date]]."
      
      
      
    • NOTE: Using Dynamic Class Names may cause the text message to exceed the maximum number of allowed characters. In this case, additional credits may be required to send the notification.
• To create a corresponding makeup token, click “Create Makeup Tokens.”
  
  
  • NOTE: Any makeup tokens created due to cancelling a class are created and available for redemption immediately via the Customer Portal if your Makeup Token settings allow parents to do so.
• Set an expiration date for the makeup tokens and whether or not the tokens created are allowed to override your pre-set makeup token limit.
• Enable the option to “Send token notification emails” if you wish to have an email sent to parents. (The email sent will use the template under SETTINGS>SETUP>GENERAL SETTINGS>ICLASSPRO>NEW MAKEUP TOKEN CREATED.)
• Click “YES” to complete the cancellation process and perform any selected tasks.

If you choose to cancel the Background Task after it has begun, it is strongly recommended that you also delete the entry from the Background Task window by clicking on the “Delete” button (trash) to the right of the Background Task entry.
