Edit School Year Calendars

In Work > School Year Calendar, you can change the start date and define non-school days, like weekends, holidays, and spring or March breaks in the employee’s calendar.

If you have just added the school year calendar, you can use the controls above the calendar cells to edit the calendar. Otherwise, you can select the calendar you want to edit in the School Year Calendar Assignment drop-down list.

To edit a year in a school year calendar, do any of the following:

  1. Go to People, open the employee profile, and click Work > School Year Calendar.
  2. Do any of the following:
    • To change the start month of the school year calendar, enter a month in the Start Month field (MM/YYYY) or click the calendar icon and select the month that the school year starts. For example, to configure the school year so that it starts in September, click September:
    • Calendar drop-down menu with cursor over September.
    • To change which days of the week are always non-school days, use the day of the week buttons above the calendar. For example, to mark all Mondays in the school year as non-school days, click Monday.

    • To change a single day from a school day to a non-school day (or vice versa), select Daily above the calendar, then click the day you want to change:
