Calendar setup workflow

Step-by-step: academic year days, holiday master, seasonal breaks, and calendar sync.

This platform & access guide covers role based access school software for K-12 day schools. Whether you are evaluating cloud school management software or configuring Schoolyi after go-live, you will find practical steps for school admin dashboard, multi campus school software - written for administrators and staff, not developers.

Last updated July 24, 2026

Configure the academic calendar before attendance, fees, exams, or leave go live. Every downstream module reads working-day flags from academic year days.

Setup workflow (administrator)

  1. Complete academic system and active academic year at /academic-system and /academic-year.
  2. Define terms with start and end dates on the academic year detail page.
  3. Open /holiday-master - add national, regional, and school-specific holidays for the year.
  4. Open /academic-calendar - verify generated year-days; run sync if holidays were added late.
  5. Configure weekend rules if your school uses custom weekend patterns (settings tied to academic system).
  6. Add school events at /events - optional overlays on the calendar for assemblies or exams week.
  7. Smoke test: open /attendance on a holiday - the day should not appear as a working day for marking.

Daily usage (operator / coordinator)

  • Add one-off holidays (e.g. sudden closure) via holiday master, then sync calendar.
  • Extend a term end date on academic year detail - re-sync calendar before fee due dates.
  • Use /events for parent-visible dates; published events may appear on /myschool.
  • Before exam scheduling, confirm exam dates do not fall on holidays (exam module checks calendar).
