Parents 🧸: Responding to a Holiday RSVP

Receiving a Holiday RSVP from your child's setting

Written by Josie

To help plan attendance, your child’s setting may send out a Holiday RSVP request. This usually happens during periods when time off is more common, such as the summer holidays or Christmas.

A Holiday RSVP is a request from your child’s setting asking you to let them know whether your child will be attending during a specific period. Having this information helps the setting plan staffing and activities more effectively.


Receiving a Holiday RSVP Request

Once the setting has created a holiday period, you’ll be able to see the Holiday RSVP in two places:

  • As a post on your Newsfeed

  • On your child’s profile

You’ll be notified when a response is needed.


Reply to a Holiday RSVP

You can respond to a Holiday RSVP directly from the Newsfeed or your child’s profile.

To reply from the Newsfeed:

  • Find the Holiday RSVP request on your Newsfeed

  • Tap on Report holiday

  • Choose how your child will attend during this holiday period:

    • Attending all if your child will be there every day

    • Not attending if your child won't be attending at all

    • Reply by day to mark attendance individually for each day, using or

  • Tap on Submit reply when you're ready

If you need to update your reply, you can always edit your responses by finding the post and amending the checked-off days.

To reply from your child's profile:

  • Tap on your child's profile picture in the menu bar

  • Find the Leave section on their profile

  • From here, tap on Reply in the Holiday replies section

Once you reply to the Holiday RSVP, you'll see the status change to Replied on (date) at the top of the box


Where Can I See Previous Holiday RSVPs?

Your previous Holiday RSVPs are saved in two places:

  • On the Holiday RSVP post in your News Feed

  • On your child’s profile

This makes it easy to review what you’ve already submitted.
