Note from other idea by Joe St. Clair:

When an athlete's team obligation overlaps with another schedule obligation, I would like for the teacher/advisor recording attendance to have a notification in the attendance section by the student's name. This would be ideal for dismissal times etc, as the 'start time' is not always adequate notice.

If pre-filled attendance reasons could be configured to populate in response to such an overlap, that would be even better.

My addition:

This would be a huge life saver! If we wanted to go a step further, I would recommend that teachers could get emails when a practice/grame dissmisal time overlaps with their class and have functionality in the system to approve or deny those absences so our Athletic department can know if a teacher has been notified and a student wouldn't be missing important tests.

We need a way to sync up early dismissal time for athletics and activity groups with attendance in academic courses. Currently, the attendance manager has to schedule these per student.

Also, please make the dismissal time for the game/practice tie in to attendance so teachers will see it in attendance.

I would also include the ability to schedule the athletic excuse when the game is being dismissal time is be added. A convergence of function.
