Frequently asked questions

Can trips be set up for more than one day?

Yes. trips can span multiple consecutive days. For multi-day trips, set the End Date to the final day.

For example, a three-day trip starting Monday, 1st July, should have a Start Date of 1st July and an End Date of 3rd July.

Can a form be used for multiple trips?

Forms are single-use. They cannot be used for multiple trips. When you require a form for a trip, you must create a new one.

How are invitations to clubs and trips handled when a parent doesn’t use the app?

When parents do not have access to the Juniper Education App, pupils should be invited to clubs and trips using Juniper Events; however, you should contact them offline, for example, by letter.

If a parent wants to enrol their child on a club or trip, they can reserve and pay directly with the school, for example, through the school office.

After reservations and payments are made, manually update the club or trip details in Juniper Events on behalf of the parents.

Is there a calendar for all school events?

Yes, there is a full calendar listing all events and trips that can be accessed from the Calendar page in Juniper Events.

Additionally, there is a calendar widget on Events Home where you can view your events or select View Calendar to open the Calendar page.

What’s the difference between 'Declined' and 'Uninvited' ?

Mark a pupil's status as 'Declined' when their parents refuse the invite sent to them, for example, because they don’t want their pupil to attend a trip or participate in a club.

A pupil’s status should be set as 'Uninvited' when the school withdraws a previous invitation, for example, for poor behaviour.

Can I view the finances for a single trip or club?

You can view the finances for a single trip or club from the Reconciliation report.

Additionally, you can track which pupils have paid and which haven’t on the Payments tab for the trip or club.

Which payment methods can I use for clubs and trips?

When setting up clubs and trips that require a parent to pay for their child's attendance, parents can pay online using the methods enabled through your school’s Stripe account and those supported by the provider for any third-party URL you use.

Additionally, parents can pay offline using cash.

Can parents pay for events by instalment (staged payments)?

Currently, parents cannot pay for clubs and trips in instalments in Juniper Events.

Are card payments refunded automatically if an event is cancelled?

Currently, card payments are not automatically refunded if an event is cancelled or a pupil is removed from an event. You must manually initiate the refund.
