School Calendars allows you to set up the instructional and reporting calendars for the school year. Configuring school calendars in Management is an essential step in ensuring that your applications function properly. The calendar setup directly impacts things like evaluation timelines, tracking professional learning, lesson planning, and reporting.
Important dates to include in your calendar:
Start and End dates – The first and last instructional days of the school year.
Instructional days – Regular school days.
Holidays – Days when neither students nor staff are in school.
Student holidays – Days when students are not in school, often including professional learning workshop days or teacher work days.
You can also create reporting calendars as part of the main instructional calendar. Unlike the instructional calendar, which tracks daily attendance or school events, the reporting calendar is focused on grouping data into meaningful reporting periods, such as semesters, quarters, or benchmark windows.
Best Practices
Set up calendars before the school year begins.
Double-check for holidays, in-service days, and early release dates.
Ensure all campuses have accurate and complete calendar entries.
Coordinate with HR or administrators to align calendars with evaluation policies.
