Scheduling

Scheduling models define calendars, school years, periods, and bell schedules. They determine when classes meet and anchor several attendance meeting models. See the Planner cookbook for scheduling integration examples. Calendars, school years, and school calendar days define the instructional calendar; periods, tracks, and bell schedules define when classes meet within a day.

Calendar

A Calendar is a collection of calendar days representing an academic year, including holidays, breaks, and scheduling information.

Day

A Day is a single day on a calendar. Meetings link to days for day-level attendance. Several attendance meeting models link to School Calendar Day instead.

Period

A Period is a portion of time within a day, such as a class period, lunch, or recess.

District Calendar

A District Calendar links a district to a calendar and defines the calendar type at the district level.

School Calendar

A School Calendar associates a school year with a calendar for a school.

School Calendar Day

A School Calendar Day assigns a day to a school calendar and track, with a day type and optional day rotation. Several attendance meeting models link to school calendar days to define when attendance can be taken.
