Calendar
The Calendar tool stores basic information about the calendar, including many fields which impact how the calendar is included within state reports and accountability calculations. The Ohio Calendar tool does not have any fields that are specific to Ohio. These fields are not used for state reporting. Please see the Calendar Details article for all inquiries.

State Grade Level Code
The Grade Level Code indicates the current grade level of the student.
Kindergarten Schedule
Attendance Pattern
On a weekly basis, the arrangement of days in which a student is in this building.
Attendance Patterns are needed when a grade level must be split into two or more groups of students. For example, kindergarten classes are often split into morning and afternoon sessions.
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.
Do NOT create multiple Schedule Structures within a calendar. Instead, create multiple, unique calendars for each Schedule Structure.
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.
Before using any of the tools on the Days tab, verify the following has been done for the selected calendar:
