Overview
Notes can be placed in multiple locations! Below is a general guideline for note priority. Use your judgement for notes that fall outside the below categories.
Example:
- Notes about using fins or doing only 3 sets of under goes under the Student Notes to be viewed by the Deck Supervisor.
- Notes about blocks or class management goes under the Class Notes for the Deck Supervisor and Site Supervisor.
- Notes regarding a family payment, waitlist and general account items goes under Family Notes for everyone handling the account.

Open Notes are current topics to be aware of.
These will filter to the top.

These notes will be filtered under open notes.

Adding to an Existing Note
Subject: Update if needed
Comment: MUST start with (CONT) to indicate there are addition notes nested under this subject.
Family & Class Note: Nesting
For each subject, click the pencil icon to add notes to the interaction. You can keep the subject or update it with more detailed information. This ensures all relevant details are stored in one place, reducing the risk of missing important information or creating disconnected entries.
To indicate that additional information has been added to the subject, start your comment with (CONT).
If the note has been resolved and can be archived, change its priority to "Low" and close it. For example, if a call-back request is marked as critical, once the call-back has been completed, you can add a summary note, close it, and change the priority to "Low."
Additionally, notes can be reopened if the topic remains the same and requires further updates.
Steps for Nesting Notes:
- Use the same or similar subject to nest notes. Use the search feature to find your topic; you may need to change the status back to 'Open' if it shows 'Closed.'
- Add (CONT) at the start of the new note to indicate previous notes.
- If you see a note no longer needed, change the priority to low and close the note.
Class Notes: Blocks
Notes are reviewed monthly, and a note is updated or removed if no longer needed.
Blocked class notes should always be treated as a medium priority and include clear, detailed information in both the subject line and comments. These specifics will help ensure a quick review of the blocks and provide substitute teachers with essential information about any class concerns they must be aware of.
Subject must detail:
- Max number the class is blocked to
- Specific student(s) that require the block
- Reason for the block
Comment:
- Specific details about the block.
- (cont) shows there are more comments nested under the most recent.
- Pro Tip! Copy and paste the previous comment if it continues to be the same reason. This will then show the note has been reviewed and is relevant to the current date.
Subject: BLK@2 - Lincoln Fowler - Safety
Comment: (cont) Lincoln Fowler - Safety -- needs extra attention to follow directions. Issues with him pushing other students off the step - if continues may need a. private to keep other students safe.
Class Notes: Permanent Blocked
HFSS Grey: Occasionally, we will encounter swimmers who will have a long-term or forever block. The format is very similar but indicates this block is permanent and does not need to be updated monthly. The format is as follows.
Subject: PERMANENT BLK@3 - Cody Satnan - SN & Safety
Comment: PERMANENT BLK@3 - Cody Satnan - SN & Safety -- We are also working on waiting and boundaries.
Note: Any decision to permanently block a class to create a special accommodation for a swimmer must be communicated clearly to the parent.
It is essential to outline the expectations in the family notes and clearly communicate with the parent regarding the accommodation in place, including a timeline and specific steps for implementation.
Is the student eligible for makeup classes, or should they be placed in a class that can be blocked to three?
If the student transfers classes, should they be placed in a class with a maximum of three students?
Discuss with your GM if you have further questions.
