Game Dismissal times should show on student and coach schedules and for attendance manager
Right now only the actual game time is displayed in the student and teacher/coach schedule. You have to click Game Details and Directions to see the actual dismissal time. It would be great if the dismissal time for athletics was visible quickly in their schedules. The actual game times could be under the details section.

Admin response
Hello!
We are looking for some feedback displaying the dismissal times for games.
How would you expect the early dismissal time to show up for students/teacher/coaches on their schedule, both the calendar and the list view?
Please feel free to comment here or reach out directly at jacqueline.koca@blackbaud.com
Thank you!

Related ideas
I like Hannah Noble's post! I would like for it all to tie together like that as well. Less manual inputting and more program "talking/crossover" would be so helpful.
I would expect it to be a 15 minute block displayed directly on the schedules. It would also need to tie into attendance for the teacher for it to be beneficial. One thing would be to allow for any classes during and after the dismissal times to automatically be marked with a chosen attendance reason. When taking attendance, the teacher would see the dismissal time and sport per student.
The current dismissal time funtion still means that our admin assistants have to email the faculty the list of students leaving with the time. They also have to manually record attendance appropriately for each of those students.
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.
