The Academic Calendar refers to your districts schedule set up. Depending on your district, you may be setting up quarters, trimesters, yearly, etc. as your term. The term is what our system determines which classes to use for the screening window.

One way to manage Terms is through the School Calendar.
To do this, click on the "Admin" tab.
3
Then click on "School calendar".
4
Now, click on the "Create term" button to bring up the create terms window.
5
Click here and type the name of the Term.
6
Click here and select the start date for your term.
7
Click here and select the end date of your term.
8
Then click on the "Save" button.
9
If you are a manual district, your terms need to be uploaded via spreadsheet. You can do this by clicking on "Data import".
10
Then click on "Terms".
11
If you have terms already uploaded into the system and you need to edit them, you can click on the "Download" button.
12
Wait for a while and click on the "Download file" button. Open the downloaded file and start editing the spreadsheet.
13
The format is Year-Month-Day so for December 19th, 2022, the date format should look like 2022-12-19.
14
Term ID: A unique ID you assign the term. It can be the same as the name.
15
Name: How you want the term name to be displayed.
16
Start on: Date you want your term to start. Your screening window cannot be opened until this date is reached.
17
End on: The end of your term. This will also close your screening window by default, since they are tied to a term.
18
After making adjustments, reupload the spreadsheet by clicking the "Click here" link and choose the location of the spreadsheet.
19
Then click the "Select file" button.
The spreadsheet needs to be in a .CSV format in order for it to be uploaded.
20
After you have uploaded the spreadsheet, the system will alert you of any errors. All you will need to do is click on the "View errors" button and correct these errors.
21
Make any corrections.

Once that is done, click on "Save and confirm".
