Yard duty roster

Term fairness tally

SchoolTerm

One row per staff member. Each week, write the number of duties each person did, including swaps and absence cover. Part-time staff carry a pro-rata share on the days they attend.

Before you fill it in

  • Rename zones to your real areas (oval, sandpit, bus gate, courts) and add rows if you supervise more than three zones per break.
  • Write down fixed recurring duties and exemptions.
  • Map each outdoor zone to an indoor wet-day post before a wet day comes.
  • When someone is absent, reassign their duty deliberately and count it in the tally.

Bell Path keeps this tally for you.

Bell Path generates the roster from your real bell times and zones, keeps a whole-year fairness count per person, converts to a wet day plan in one step, and reassigns an absent teacher's duties on the daily cover screen.
