Add students to an existing detention session for a reason other than lateness.
Before you start: complete Detention Access & Setup. The session and detention reasons must be available, and you need the appropriate staff access.
In this guide
1. Select the session and students
- Sign in at uniqueschoolapp.ie and open Detention Manager.
- Find the session and click its Add Student icon.
- Search for and select the students.
- Click Add to Final List to move them into the list you are preparing.
2. Add the reason and comments
- Detention Reason: choose an option from the reasons set up by your school.
- Description for Parents: add any explanation that should appear in the Personal Notification.
- Internal Comment for Staff: add any staff-only note. This is not shown to parents.
Check where you type. Keep staff-only information in the internal comment field, not in the description for parents.
3. Confirm the assignment
- Review the session, students, reason and parent-facing wording.
- Click Add to Detention to save the assignment.
If automatic Personal Notifications are enabled in your detention settings, parents or guardians will receive a notification that the student has been added to detention.
