The Permission to Leave (PTL) section within Attendance Overview allows you to easily view, approve, edit, and manage student leave requests submitted by parents through the app.
This area ensures accurate tracking of when students are expected to leave, when they actually sign out, and whether approval has been granted.
Important
Students must be signed out using the Digital Sign In/Out Device or by a staff member in the office.
Signing out through Unique Schools ensures accurate time stamps and proper parental confirmation and updates.
Directly updating VSware/Tyro with sign-out information is not recommended.
Approval alone does not record the departure — the student must physically sign out.
How to Access PTL
- Go to uniqueschoolapp.ie and log in.
- From the Main Dashboard, click Attendance Overview.
- Select the PTL (Permission to Leave) tab.
By Default:
- You will see Pending PTLs for today.
- To view other dates:
- Use the Date Filter at the top of the page.
- To view non-Pending PTLs:
- Use the Status Filter (It will be set to Pending by default)
What You Can See (Based on Role)
Access depends on your permissions:
- Year Heads / Tutors – See only assigned year groups.
- Principal, Deputy Principal, Attendance Officer, Office Staff – See all students.
Approving PTL Notes

Best Practice
Approve PTLs promptly to avoid delays at sign-out.
Always ensure students physically sign out via the Digital Sign Out Device.
Use the filters to manage large volumes efficiently.
Review cumulative PTL days where needed.
