Managing the School Calendar

Managing the School Calendar

The School Calendar allows schools to add over-arching term dates and also mark individual days as closed, for example Teacher Training days and unexpected closures (for school closures please refer to the How to mark your school as Closed article).

Setting Term dates

Navigate to Admin > Calendar set up where the Calendar for the current academic year will be displayed.

Term dates are entered from the Edit Calendar area (please note when setting term start dates, the start of term will be when the school is open, this includes Teacher Training days).

Editing individual calendar days

Settings for individual days cab be changed from the montly calendar view.

This will display the status of the days that fall into the term dates entered in the Edit Calendar area. By default, every day will be marked as 'Open'.

To change the status of a day, click on the day in question and select the appropriate reason:

For Teacher Training, Holiday, Closed and Weekend statuses, the registers will automatically be superimposed with a '#' code.

For Managing unexpected school closures, please refer to How to mark your school as Closed (eg unexpected closures)
