Each district is going to be different. In my district, they start their calendar with teacher check-in, which is usually the week before school starts for students. Other districts will start with the students' start date. The same is true for last day. It could be the last day of classes, in which case you've got to make some allowance to be able to mark for the last day of the calendar. Or, if you're in my district, they'll show the last day of classes, and then the subsequent date when report cards are sent home, which would be marked as the last day of the calendar.
The instructions say that the last few days of school are sometimes half days, but if there is testing mark them as Mandatory days but the next step (12) says to find the last day of school and choose the corresponding date, which I am interpreting as mark that day as last day even if it's a mandatory test day.
It says to mention Hurricane Sandy dates in the comments section but do we mark them on the calendar as days off??
I guess I am the only one getting an error message? It just says we're sorry but something went wrong. :-(
This is how I understood it as well. Anyone else have a black box around March 14?? :dunno: It wont let me highlight that box (I did make a note in the comments)
I had one calendar start off with 4th of July, that to me is the first day on the calendar. First day of school was Aug 29. Last day of school was June 14 and last day of the calendar was June 28. I haven't had any where they fall on the same day. I could be doing it wrong but the way I am reading it, "Find the earliest day represented on the calendar and click the corresponding date on the user interface."
Current date. Mind blown. lol. Can't believe I was stupid enough not to realize that. Sigh. Thank you!
This needs a work around :-/ So annoying. I've also noticed on some calendars if you click a date with last day of school and then highlight it with partial day off, it will take both entries. In order to remove them you have to remove the partial day off first then the last day. However, sometimes it will let you submit it this way with both highlighted. Which it should since some days are actual half days and the last day of school. Then sometimes it kicks it back saying you dont have all the dates entered and will only let you click last day of school for that day. It's quite frustrating.
The thing is, is that you get some calendars that are just lists of dates, and don't have a specific calendar shown. It would be really nice if Dustin was around to do a lot more explain. I have read the PDF like 5 times now, and there are a lot of situations he did not explain.
Hey, hey, hey you're not stupid! I thought it was a quality control my first few calendars and would panic a bit if there was nothing on that calendar that day.
I would have interpreted July 4 as being at the end of the previous school year. Most of the calendars I've seen so far aren't discrete school years to begin with. LOL, we really need Dustin to give us some guidance on this stuff!
In this case, just follow the same rules. If you do come across a calendar, even if it's just a list of dates and the first day listed happens to be the first calendar day listed, I don't think it will let you submit your work, so, I would skip that school calendar.
I can't get in to the app. Every time I click on start reviewing, it gives me an error message. This blows.
