Handling holiday and weather closures
How to cancel one class, close a day, or add a closure for a date range, and how families are told.
Updated October 31, 2026
By default, only owners and admins can cancel classes or add closures. When you do, QuickKicks cancels the classes and sends each affected family a notice in their QuickKicks notifications, plus an email if they receive email from your school.
Cancel one class on one day
- Go to Programs › Schedule.
- Tap the class, then Cancel just this day.
- Add a short reason, for example "Closed due to snow". Families see it in the notice.
Close the whole school for one day
- On Programs › Schedule, open the menu on that day's header.
- Tap Close this day (holiday), add a reason and confirm. Every class that day is canceled and families are notified.
Close for a date range (holidays, winter break)
- Go to Programs › Closures and tap New closure.
- Pick Starts on and Ends on, and type a Reason.
- Tap Add closure. Every class in that range is canceled and families are notified. A closure always covers every class in the range.
Changed your mind? On Programs › Closures, tap Reopen sessions next to the closure to bring its classes back.
Make-up credits
Canceling a class or adding a closure does not give anyone a make-up credit. To give credits, open the student's profile, go to the Attendance tab and tap Issue under Make-up credits.
Reaching families fast
For a last-minute closure, also post an announcement from Communications. Announcements show in the parent app.
