Plan Ahead for a Child's Last Day

A child's departure affects the classroom, the family, and the account. Wonderschool's unenrollment dashboard brings scheduled last days and related information into one view so directors can identify the conversations and records that need attention.

What can a director review?

The dashboard lists enrolled children with scheduled last days. It brings together the student profile link, available parent information, the last day, and timing indicators. Related financial details can include notice status, a short-notice amount, a deposit credit, and a net amount owed when the underlying information is available.

That combination helps a provider identify the next conversation. A child leaving soon may need a classroom transition plan. A record with missing financial information may need a billing review. A displayed settlement amount is not, by itself, confirmation that money has been collected or refunded.

Make a departure review part of the routine

Review upcoming last days before discussing classroom openings or final account questions. Open the child's record when you need the underlying details, and compare the recorded notice and last day with the family's agreement. If information is incomplete, resolve it before promising a final balance.

Use the review to coordinate the people involved: who will confirm the last day with the family, who will plan the child's classroom transition, and who will review final billing. Keep each task visible rather than treating a departure date as proof that all arrangements are complete.

Separate visibility from action

Use the dashboard as a starting point for action. Confirm the last day and notice information, review any deposit or amount owed, and check the relevant invoice or payment record. Then tell the family what is settled and what still needs attention. A displayed amount alone does not confirm a payment or refund.

Frequently asked questions

Does a number in the dashboard mean a payment occurred?

No. Review the relevant invoice or payment record to confirm money movement.

Will every record have complete financial details?

Not necessarily. Missing or historical information can require review before a financial conclusion is made.
