Off Campus Lunch
First Step: Student Fills Out Form
There is an accordion on the Policies & Procedures page that explains the Off-Campus lunch policy. There was also a stand along page created which we could use if needed.
- This accordion item is the starting point for students to request off-campus lunch. It contains basic information about qualifications, procedures and revocation policy. It also has a link to the form.
- To start the the process, student fills out the Off Campus Lunch Student Application Form. This also has a link to the policy page.
- We can either add a link to this page or the the form on the Quicklinks menu or as a post on the website.
Second Step: Administration Verifies Student
- After a student submits the form, an email will be sent to the designated staff member - currently that will be Obi Kingsley.
- This email will have a link which takes you directly to a page to edit that entry. They should be marked as qualifying or not.
- If they are marked as qualifying that will redirect to a another page showing the same information. Click submit to create a new entry in the Parent Approval table.
- This will also cause an email to be sent to the parent/guardian email contained in the form.
- These can all be viewed in this table.
Third Step: Parent Approval
- And email is sent to the parent with the student information already filled in. This entry asks the parent for approval with a link to the Off-Campus Lunch Parent Approval Form.
- This table shows the final results.
- Need notification?
- Can export entries.
Clubs
Adding a Club Process
Step 1: Sponsor Requests Creation of New Club
- Create a new club by finding a sponsor and filling out the Add a Club form which is located on the Students->Clubs & Extracurricular menu. Only a staff member can create a club.Note: initially this was set up so that students could create the club and then the request would be forwarded to the sponsor for approval.
- The Add a Club form (ID: 19) is set up to request a new form including club name, & description, Interest Group Information, Communication methods, Meeting time & place, Sponsor name, Student leader name and club members.
- Sponsor checks the Sponsor Approved box and submits form.
Step 2: Administration Approval
- Once the Sponsor checks the sponsor approved box and submits the form, an email notification is sent to the Clubs Administrator (currently Ms. Clemmons).
- This email has basic information about the club and and a link which takes the administrator to a list of all the information. If needed, the administrator can update information here.
- At the bottom of the form is a link to allow the administration to approve.
- The administrator will be taken to a page like this. By changing the red x in the left hand column to a green check, the club is approved.
- Once the club is approved it shows on the Students->Club page.
- The club sponsor also receives a confirmation email.
Step 3: After Approval
- Sponsors can make changes and update their clubs by logging in to the Jackson-Reed website and then going to the Tools->Views -> Clubs Table link.
- This page will show a list of all the clubs that the user sponsors.
- The user can click on the pencil icon in the row to edit and update the club info.
- When they are done, the club status will be set back to Unapproved and an email sent to the Club Administrator to approve along with a summary of any changes made. See an example below.

Attendance Form Technical Notes
There are currently two Attendance Forms - the one that the students/families input daily attendance on is the main one.
All WordPress tables have the wRoiTuj_ prefix. Gravity Forms tables all have the wRoiTuj_gf prefix - notice the extra gf?
- wRoiTuj_ gf_form contains an entry for each unique form that was created using Gravity Forms.
- wRoiTuj_ gf_entry contains an entry for each time a form was submitted but no form data. In the example below we pull all the data in this table for our Attendance table.
- If we look at wRoiTuj_ gf_entry_meta we see:
- form_id matches the id of the specific form - those are listed above in the Data Views table. We are showing examples for the Attendance table which has a form_id of 12.
- entry_id is the specific entry - we customize this number to create the Session_ID for Attendance. In the example above, we are looking at entry_id 241 which is a test case.
- meta_key is the id of the field in the form - you can open up the form to see the field IDs. But there they are the Attendance Table.
- meta_value is the actual value held in a specific form, for a specific entry, for a specific field.
