Grade Level Detail Editor
State Grade Level Code

Schedule Structure
Schedule Structures provide a means of allowing different groups of students (by grade level, by different terms, by different day layout) to have a unique layout for their learning day.
Periods
The Periods tool lists the names and the times of the periods meeting throughout a school day. The editor displays the period information based on the school selected in the Campus toolbar.
Days
The Days tool provides a calendar type of view for all of the days in the school calendar, determined by the year, school and calendar selected in the Campus toolbar. The Days tool also displays which Period Schedules are assigned to a particular day, if any special events are assigned to a day, or if a particular day is not recording attendance, is not an instruction day, or is not a school day. Please see the Days article for more information.
Day Events
Day Detail Editor
Day Events Type
Day Events indicate a special event(s) for the school day. The Day Event Type field indicates the reason for the event. Types of days are created in the Attribute/Dictionary.
School Month
School months break down the months within the school year into segments of time, most often used for state reporting. School Months can be created in one school calendar and copied to other school calendars using the Calendar Wizard. School Months are only necessary if the district wishes to run the NV01 Monthly Enrollment and Attendance Report.
