School Day Calendar

The calendar that displays will be set based on the first and last days of school, as determined on the previous screen. Each Saturday and Sunday over the course of the school year are already indicated as non-school days.

Click the days in each month that are student holidays/non-school days. If a non-school day needs to be changed or added, District Administrators can return to this screen and un-select a school day and Indicator 11 will re-calculate for the students affected by the change (e.g., bad weather make up days).

 Note: The application is performing calculations with each click made, so users will notice a flicker on this screen when selecting days.
