- Enter the Start Date for each school month. Dates can be entered in mmddyy format, or you can use the calendar icon to select a date.
- Enter either the total number of Days in the School Month OR enter the End Date of the School Month.Whichever field is left blank auto-populates with the correct value based on what was entered in the populated field.
- Use the Exclude Start and Exclude End fields to bypass extended breaks, like Winter Break in December.

- Click Save when finished.
