School Active Calendar

A school's Active Calendar spans the current school year, which includes all preparation days at the beginning of the year and makeup days at the end. A school's Active Calendar is associated with the district' Active Calendar [>>]. The system has only one Active Calendar. A School Administrator can view the Active Calendar by switching to it [>>].

A school's Active Calendar is created when the District Administrator first adds the school to the system [>>]. PowerSchool SMS creates the school's Active Calendar, using the dates of the district's Active Calendar; these dates can be adjusted to the school's requirements. The school can then create a Planning Calendar [>>] whenever they deem it appropriate to do so. (Note: To work with the Planning Calendar, the Access to the Planning Calendar permission must be set to Yes [>>].). During Year-End Processing [>>], PowerSchool SMS converts that calendar into an Active Calendar for the new year.
