National Holiday Check-In

Purpose - Provides a one-tap presence marker on a declared national holiday for employees who attend the school that day (for a special event, flag-hoisting, and so on). 

Who Can Use It

Employees (and school administrators marking their own attendance) at a school on a day that has been declared a national holiday. 

Key Capabilities 

• A dashboard card that shows whether today is a national holiday and whether the employee has already marked in. 
• A calendar of upcoming national-holiday days with each day's marking status. A single check-in per day, at any hour, from inside the school premises. 
• Location verification (geofence) is enforced, but no timing window, no late-check-in penalty, no check-out, and no remark. 
• Offline queue with per-record outcomes (stored, duplicate, rejected, or retry).  

How to Use It

• On a declared national holiday, open the app. The banner shows the day's status and offers a Mark Check-In button. 
• From inside the school premises, tap Mark Check-In. 
• The record appears in the calendar with the time and verified-location badge.

Rules & Restrictions 

• Only one national-holiday check-in per day per employee; a duplicate is refused with a friendly message. 
• The punch must come from inside the school geofence (plus any state-wide grace radius).
• A national holiday remains a non-working day for every other purpose (absent counts, working-day denominators, and duty assignment). 
• A school may not declare its own holiday on a date the DHE has already claimed as a national holiday.
