Canceling classes does not affect proration. It simply marks that class will not be held on the date(s) for which it is canceled and gives staff the option to issue a makeup token for the canceled date(s). See our "How Does Proration Work?" document for additional information about how proration works in iClassPro.

How to Cancel a Single Class from the Classes Page

• From the CLASSES page, click the “Attendance” icon (checkmark) to the left of the class you wish to cancel.
• 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: If a class is canceled for a date that contains either Makeup Enrollments or Punch Pass-related enrollments scheduled to attend, those enrollments will be deleted prior to actually canceling the class. This will release the any Makeup Tokens or Punches redeemed for the enrollments so they can be used again, and will also ensure that no makeup token is generated for these enrollments.
• 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. Deleting the Background Task entry is specifically recommended for tasks that both perform a task and send email notifications, such as generating makeup tokens, canceling classes/camps, assigning substitute instructors, and sending Statements.

Un-canceling a class

Currently, the act of un-canceling a class must be done manually for each individual class timeslot that was canceled.  To un-cancel a class:

• From the CLASSES page, click the “Attendance” icon (checkmark) to the left of the class you wish to cancel.
• Select the date of the class that needs to be canceled.
  
• Click the pencil/edit icon to the right of the note that the class was canceled.
  
• Click "Remove Cancellation."
• The system will confirm that the cancellation was removed.
  

NOTES:

• If a class cancellation is removed, any makeup tokens that were issued for the canceled class will be revoked.
• All ACTIVE and TRIAL enrollments will remain attached to the class.
  • However, as the system deletes Punch Pass and Makeup enrollments whenever a class is canceled, these enrollments WILL NOT be restored.

Record Keeping

Once the cancellation is complete, an HTML result report will be available in your Background Tasks:

This report will show the class name, cancellation date, class time and results for the actual class cancellation and any makeup tokens created (if you enabled the option to do so):
