Wet day plan software
Wet day plan software that moves the duty roster indoors in one step.
When it rains, Bell Path takes the teachers already on yard duty and gives each one an indoor zone. The wet day plan prints from the same page as the normal roster.

What you are looking for
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. The staff on yard this week are the staff on indoor zones, and everyone knows where to go.
The problems
What goes wrong without it.
School leaders describe these problems to us before they start with Bell Path. It is built to stop each one.
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 zone.

From school setup to a timetable you can explain with confidence.

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 the teachers on yard duty can be moved to indoor zones in one step and the plan printed 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 this week are the people who should be on indoor duty when it rains. Building the plan from the live roster means it is always about the right people.

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. Nobody notices a good one. Everybody notices an unfair one. 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.
Wet day plans: decide at 8:40, not at 12:40.
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. Rain turns a solved supervision problem into an unsolved one with a deadline. The schools that handle it calmly all do the same four things, and none of them happen on the day.
