Grade Level Detail Editor
State Grade Level Code
The grade level or primary instructional level at which a student enters a school or an educational institution during a given school year.
Kindergarten Schedule
Selection indicates the type of Kindergarten grade level in the selected school. Only make a selection if the grade level is a kindergarten grade level.
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. This tool does not have any fields that are specific to the state of Colorado. Please see the Schedule Structure article for more information.
Terms
Calendar Terms list the type of calendar structure the school has - trimesters, quarters, etc. Also available on this tool are the start and end dates of the terms. This tool does not have any fields that are specific to the state of Colorado. Please see the Terms article for more information.
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. At least one period schedule needs to exist in a calendar. Once a period schedule exists, periods can be assigned to that schedule. Then, Calendar Days can be established and assigned a period schedule (day rotation). This tool does not have any fields that are specific to the state of Colorado. Please see the Periods article for more information.
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.
Overrides
Calendar overrides apply to the programs a school offers to students. Overrides may be set for a person or on a household address. Person overrides take precedence over the household address override. A student may be denied enrollment to a school if the student does not live at an address within the school boundary. In this case, the student would need to obtain a person override to attend the school based on a specific curriculum program or administrative decision. This tool does not have any fields that are specific to the state of Colorado. Please see the Overrides article for more information.
Calendar GPA
The Calendar GPA tool lists all available Custom GPA Calculation (name and type) that may be chosen for use within that calendar. They are ordered by the sequence entered for that calculation on the GPA Calculation tool. This tool does not have any fields that are specific to the state of Colorado. Please see the Calendar GPA article for more information.
