What Does Calendar of Events Do for Schools?
Calendar of Events is the institutional calendar platform within the School ERP. The single place where the school's academic events, holidays, and scheduled activities are recorded & maintained. It is tagged as a Platform module because its data feeds other modules: the timetable module uses the holiday calendar to calculate due dates & period boundaries, and the attendance module uses it to skip non-working days in fine calculations.
How Does it Help Schools?
Auto-Propagating Holiday Additions
When school declares an unplanned holiday, timetable & attendance modules auto-adjust their calculations through the calendar hook.
Shared Institutional Calendar
Every staff member works from the same calendar. Exam dates, term breaks, school events & holidays are visible in one place.
Accurate Attendance & Fines
Attendance & library fines calculated against working days, not calendar days. Every holiday & weekly-off day is auto-accounted for.
Timetable Periods Reflecting Calendar
Timetable period boundaries auto-calculated from calendar; start & end of term, breaks & holidays, when calendar is updated.
Event Visibility & Planning
Academic, co-curricular & administrative events visible to all staff from calendar view. Events categorized & recurring ones managed.
One Calendar, Every Update
Holiday additions auto-propagated to all connected modules. All staff & administrators working from the same shared academic plan.
