Wet day plan software that moves the duty roster indoors in one step.
When it rains, each wet-day room gets one of its listed teachers who was already on yard duty at that break, and any room nobody can take is flagged. The plan prints from the same page as the normal roster.

It is raining, and the outdoor roster no longer applies.
Most schools have a wet day plan somewhere. The problem is finding it, matching it to who is on duty today, and getting it to staff in the ten minutes before the bell.
Wet day plans tend to live in old files, shared folders, or someone’s memory of what happened last time.
Bell Path builds the wet day plan from the duty roster you are already running. Each room is watched by a teacher who was on duty at that break, and everyone can see who is where.
What goes wrong without it.
The wet day plan is a separate document from the duty roster, so the two drift apart.
Working out who goes to which room, ten minutes before the bell, causes confusion.
Staff still need a printed plan they can read on the way to their room.

FAQ
Questions schools ask before they start.
Is Bell Path only for the timetable, or does it help on rainy mornings too?
It helps on rainy mornings too. The wet day plan is part of yard duty, so one step sends a teacher already on duty to each indoor room and the plan prints straight away.
Can staff print the wet day plan?
Yes. The wet day plan prints as a PDF from the same page as the normal roster.
Why connect the wet day plan to the yard duty roster?
Because the people on yard duty at that break are the people free to watch a room when it rains. Building the plan from the live roster means it is always about the right people.
Free guides.
Guides written for Australian primary school leaders. No sign-up required.
The yard duty roster: covered every break, fair all term.
A yard duty roster puts a named staff member on every supervised zone for every break, every day, and spreads that load fairly across the term. This guide covers coverage, fairness counting, part-timer loading, and the wet day plan, the four things that decide whether your roster lasts the term.
How to run wet day plans in a primary school.
A wet day plan is a standing conversion of the yard duty roster: every outdoor zone maps to a named indoor post, decided once, so one call switches the whole roster when it rains.
