Defining day types
You supplement the base day types provided by Chancery SMS with day types of your own; for example, if your school has an early dismissal day once a month, you can create an "Early Dismissal" day type, or if your area is subject to periodic heavy snowfalls, you can create a "Snow Day" day type.

Base Day Type: The day type on which to base the values for this day type. For a Snow Day, use "Holiday". |
|

|
Day Value: The day's value where attendance is tallied by value rather than occurrence [>>]. Typical values are 1.00, 0.50, and 0.00 Applies only if Base Day Type is "Normal School Day". |

|
For once-daily attendance [>>], enter Present and Absent code values of 1.00. For twice daily attendance [>>], enter Present and Absent code values of 0.50. In both cases, the value counts as one student per day. |

|
Use for Defaults in Day Type List Settings: Indicates that this day type can be used as a default day type [>>]. Applies only if the school employs secondary school scheduling. If this is set to "No" and Instructional Day to "Yes", then Chancery SMS treats this as an exception day [>>], and you must specify the bell schedule for this exception day type. For a Snow Day, set to "Yes". |
