Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so tsc-aligned staff records and working-day attendance does not live in disconnected spreadsheets.

Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
