When creating next year's calendar - will it be problematic to "pad" the beginning of one of the schools calendar with 2 weeks of not in session days with 0 membership? Would all the schools need to be set up the same way as this one school?

@SharonF4 That is not an issue. We set up all calendars from July 1st - June 30th, even though our actual days in-session are 8/17 - 5/24. We actually will temporarily make July 15th an "in-session" day and use that as the enrollment date for all new students. Then we go back and change that date to NOT "in-session".
You do not have to have all calendars setup the same.

Quick question: Why do you make July 15th an in session day? Do you have to do this to make the students active? Do you set it as In Session with no membership? Do you set it back from In Session before the first day of school or after? We are thinking of setting ours up 4 weeks before our first day of school so our new students are active and sent to the programs that we use and then also ease of teacher usage with new students.
how do we get in touch with the school!?
Which school?

Just like @HeatherWeist, we pad our calendar each year, it's better to do it now...Adding days after the fact is a pain.

Hi Doug,
Do you set the first day to an In Session day like Heather mentioned? She said they change it back to a Not in Session afterwards.
Thanks
