Additional Information
Calendar ID and Calendar Description
The Calendar ID provides a unique identifier for each different calendar that will be linked to a student on the Student Calendar Fact
record. Therefore, it is important to create a Calendar ID that is easily identifiable. The Calendar Description field may be used to
provide a more detailed description.
Calendar Programs Code
This field is required for students in the following situations:
• ICPs
• juveniles incarcerated in adult facilities
• students at a CTC/AVTS
• students in a vocational program at a school district or charter school
• students in an alternative education for disruptive youth program
• students placed out-of-state
• school-age students in an early intervention program.
Instruction Start Date and Instruction End Date
For a part-time semester about CTC/AVTS calendar, enter the Instruction Start and End Date for the semester.
If a program was added after the school year began or cancelled before the school year ended, enter the calendar as if the program
operated the entire school year. For example, a full-time kindergarten program was added in October or an alternative education
program for disruptive youth was cancelled in April; enter the same Instruction Start and End Date as the majority of the students in
that grade level or building.
Number of Scheduled School Days
The number of Scheduled School Days is the number of instructional days on the original calendar or revised original calendar
(planned student days plus PDE-approved, full-day Act 80 dismissals). Revisions for any rescheduling to accommodate days lost or
made up are entered in the Total Days in Session Lost or Total Make-Up Days fields.
