A calendar set may consist of up to a total of six different calendar record types. The different record types include on the top portion of the screen,– 10 (Basic calendar), on the lower portion of the screen, 20 (Teacher only), 30 (Holiday), 40 (Early dismissal), 50 (Emergency Day) and 60 (Makeup Day). The calendar code is important not only because it uniquely identifies the calendar set but also because it links individual students to a specific calendar which is then used for calculating grades and minutes of instructions.
