How to create a printable detention slip

This guide will explain how to create a printable detention slip.

When a detention is arranged for a pupil, staff members may wish to provide pupils with a detention slip so that they know when to attend their detention.

There are multiple methods of creating printable detention slips in Class Charts, which are explained below:

Creating a detention slip when issuing a detention

If you award a behaviour to a pupil that also issues a detention, you can create a printable detention slip as the detention is issued.

To do this, click on the Create detention & print slip button after entering the detention details into the Issue a detention popup.

Detention slips can also be generated directly from your school’s activity feed. Click on the Activity tab at the top of the page.

Next, search for the detention you wish to create a detention slip for. It may be worth filtering the activity feed by Detentions only, so that only detention activity is shown.
