Enrollment states and transitions

Understand the enrollment lifecycle from application to graduation.

The enrollment state machine

Every child's enrollment follows a clear path through these states:

States explained

  • Applied -- the family submitted an application. The child is waiting for review.
  • Waitlisted -- you are not ready to approve or reject the application. The child stays in your queue for a future decision.
  • Approved -- you approved the application. The child appears in your roster and is ready to be assigned to a classroom.
  • Active -- the child is assigned to a classroom and is currently enrolled.
  • Inactive -- the child has graduated, withdrawn, or left the school.
  • Rejected -- you rejected the application.

What each state means for the roster

  • Applied, Waitlisted, and Rejected children do not appear on any classroom roster.
  • Approved children appear in the children roster but not on a classroom roster.
  • Active children appear on their classroom roster.
  • Inactive children are hidden from the active roster but their data is preserved.

Tips

  • Use the "Inactive" status instead of deleting children. This preserves their history.
  • You can reactivate an inactive child at any time (for example, if they return after a break).
  • The enrollment status is visible to parents on their child's profile.
