Scenario:  How can we add non-school days, such as holidays and inclement weather days, to our calendar?


Solution:  


  1. Click the Settings tab in the lower left sidebar
  2. Click on the Daily Atten. Settings button
  3. Enter a line for "Non-school" day or "Holiday" or something similar that you want to use for non-school days.
  4. Click the Save Changes button on the top left of the page.





  1. Click the Specify Non-School Days button at the top left of the page
  2. Enter the name of the non-school day(s) such as "Labor Day"
  3. Enter the Date or Date Range that applies to the non-school day
  4. In the drop down menu next to "Attendance Symbol to Use", select the attendance code you previously entered for the non-school day
  5. Click the Add button




The result appears on attendance reports, student/parent interface and on the integrated calendar.  Non-school days can be specified for the future or the past.

 

Note: Any mark used in “Specify non-school days” MUST have the “Excluded Attendance” box check or else the attendance calculations will be incorrect.



To add a "Holiday/Inservice" to the drop down menu, edit your Daily attendance settings.
