Core › Holiday Calendar. This is the list of days your school is shut.
Today it is used by Core › Late Fee Automation: a late fee that would land on one of these days is moved to the next working day instead.
Your weekly off is NOT entered here
A day off that happens every week — Sunday, or Friday and Sunday — is a setting on the Late Fee Automation screen. Only dated closures go in the calendar, so you are never entering 52 Sundays a year.
Two kinds of entry
- Repeats every year — a fixed date such as 14 August. Enter it once and it applies every year, and the year you typed stops mattering.
- This date only — everything else: a local closure, an inspection day, and Eid.
Why Eid is not already in the list
Eid ul Fitr, Eid ul Azha, Ashura and Eid Milad un Nabi follow the lunar calendar. They move about eleven days earlier each year and the dates are confirmed only days beforehand, so there is no correct date to fill in for you.
Add them yourself each year, with "Repeats every year" left unticked, once the dates are announced.
The six national holidays are yours to change
Kashmir Day, Pakistan Day, Labour Day, Independence Day, Iqbal Day and Quaid-e-Azam Day are filled in as a starting point. Provincial calendars differ and plenty of schools stay open on some of them — delete any you do not observe. If you delete one by mistake, Restore national holidays puts them back.
One campus or all of them
Leave Applies to as All campuses for a school-wide closure, or pick a campus when only that one is shut.
Nobody can see it until you grant it
It is a controlled screen and starts with nobody holding it, including your own school administrator account. Go to Admin › Users & Privileges and tick Core Settings :: Holiday Calendar.
