If you don't see this

• It needs the Approve Communication Items permission. A director grants it under Manage School → Staff → Permissions.

Parents can add adults, but emergency contacts and approved pickups they add or change wait for you.

Steps

1. Open Approvals (phone) or Approval Center (sidebar).
2. Tap the School Records chip. Under Emergency Contacts or Approved Pickups, tap the child's row. It lists the child's pending people.

Tips

• You can also start from the child's profile: the Approved Pickups or Emergency card shows Approval Needed. Open the card and tap the pending person.
• Denied changes show as (Denied) to staff and are not applied.
