Schoolyi

Terms, holidays, and working days every module shares

Academic calendar

Configure academic years, term boundaries, holidays, and working days once, attendance, exams, fees, timetables, and leave all inherit the same dates. When the calendar is wrong, every module breaks. Schoolyi treats the academic calendar as the source of truth so coordinators set terms and holidays once and downstream workflows stop maintaining parallel date lists.

Questions, answered

Straightforward answers for visitors evaluating the product.

Which dates does the academic calendar control?+

Administrators configure academic years, terms, holidays, working days, and events once for the modules that depend on those dates.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Which modules use working-day rules?+

Attendance, exams, fees, timetables, and leave workflows inherit the configured calendar rather than maintaining separate date lists.

Before the first collection cycle, reconcile one paid, partially paid, and overdue student account so the family receipt and finance view agree. Keep any tax, gateway, refund, or accounting boundary as an explicit deployment decision.

Are board calendar presets available?+

Schoolyi includes presets for CBSE, IB, IGCSE, American, and custom board profiles that schools can adapt to their own year structure.

Set the academic calendar before enabling dependent workflows, then test one holiday and one working-day exception against the resulting attendance or exam view. Keep the school’s local policy as the authority for edge cases.

Can leadership export the calendar?+

Calendar exports support leadership planning while events remain visible through the relevant staff and family portal views.

Test the guardian link and publication boundary with a sample family before inviting the wider parent community. Confirm that each linked child exposes only the records the school intends.
