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.
Adding Information to the Record Type 10
Every calendar must have one (and only one) calendar record type 10.
- Choose the School
- Enter a Calendar Code (a unique number between 001 and 999)

- Pick the number of Periods
- Enter the Start Time (use military time)
- Enter the End Time (use military time)
- Minutes – number of instructional minutes per day (does not include minutes used for homeroom, recess, lunch, time between classes). The SIS coordinator should have a worksheet to assist in finding the correct number of minutes.
- Description – add a description name. Ex: Basic Calendar, Basic Calendar grades K-3, etc.
- Start Date – day instruction begins (usually first day students attend)
- End Date – last day of instruction (usually last day students attend)
- Graduation Date – actual date graduation is held, if elementary school calendar, use last date of school
