Editing Calendar Month

Mondays through Fridays are considered full days. GradeBook automatically calculates the last day of the school calendar based on the start date and the total number of days in the calendar. You must edit the calendar to reflect the days that school is not in session (or any other special days), and then adjust the end date based on those days. The colors that display at the bottom of the School Calendar screen have been set up on the Attendance Day Codes screen.

Once you have finished editing the calendar, you must associate the calendar with the school buildings that use the calendar.

1.On the Calendar List screen, click the Calendar Days tab.

Note: On the School Calendar screen, you can also click inset_1.jpg beside the calendar you want to edit.

2.On the School Calendar screen, in the Select a Calendar drop-down list, select the appropriate calendar.

Notice that the Selected Calendar, Calendar Start, and Cycle Type display across the top of the calendar. The months display along the left side of the calendar beginning with the first month in the school year. Cycle day codes that are included in the associated instructional cycle display in each day. The background color of each day is denoted by the type of attendance day. Keys explaining the Attendance Days and Instructional Cycle Days display across the bottom of the screen.
