<\/div>\n

In case you missed it with the release of Sprint E20<\/a>, there is a new Calendar feature in Quickschools<\/a> that is readily available to all schools. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an administrator, you can now define the holiday calendar for each academic term that you set up. In addition, the feature can also restrict data entry for attendance. This will prevent teachers from inadvertently adding attendance data on days students are not expected to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a quick guide on viewing and configuring the calendar:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Under the \u201cNew Semester Setup\u201d > \u201cView All Semesters\u201d menu, you should see a new \u201cCalendar\u201d link for each term:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    \"New
    New \u201cCalendar\u201d link when configuring an Academic Term<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Clicking on it will bring up a calendar for the specified start\/end dates defined for the term:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
      \n
      \"Set
      Set up holidays and other non-school days on the Calendar<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. You can then click on a cell to set that day as a holiday, by applying a “Day Label”:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
        \n
        \"Apply
        Apply a \u201cDay Label\u201d to make it a non-school day<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
          \n
        1. To restrict attendance, you will need to configure your Attendance module on the Settings page, and enable the \u201cHide \u201cTake Attendance\u201d button on non school days<\/em>” option:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
          \n
          \"Enable
          Enable this setting to restrict attendanc<\/em>e <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

          Once this setting has been turned on, your teachers will only be able to take attendance on configured schools days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
