Notes:

Call Order for Communication | Parents/Caregivers can now be assigned a 'Call Order' in the 'Addresses and Comm Rules' tab in a student's record.
Note that Communication Rules do not apply to Call Order, as those rules relate to system based Email, SMS and Notification type communications. Where Parent/Caregivers have provided information on the order in which they should be called, enter this info on the Student's Record.  Call Order information will show in Staff Kiosk on the Student Profile.  Call Order information will show on Medical Listings when the 'Include Address Details' is selected.  |
