Yes, and a few that still have last year’s calendar up. I was going to do my 100 today, but it’s looking like tough sledding.
Yep, skip it if it doesn't have the 2013-2014 calendar up. Only got 50 calendars in yesterday, was too tired from doing all those Food HITs. I'm gonna try for at least 100 today. I've got 10 in at the moment, will shoot for 100 when I wake up.
I'm not exactly sure on those, but, on the ones I have run across where it said Teacher In-Service Prof. Learning Days, they had them the same color code as days out of school/holiday, so I marked them as a day off. Not sure if that helps you any. :/
Teacher In-service is usually no school, not sure about Emergency Days though. Teacher In-service can also be partial days, it will usually state the information on the calendar though. One way you can tell is some calendars will count the number of student days in the month. For example, for one week the number will go from 24 to 28. That means there is a day off in that week because a normal school week has 5 days usually and if there are no days off it will go from 24 to 29.
It's on an external website. You need to be invited to work on the calendars. Dustin put up a qualification batch yesterday for people who didn't work on calendars back in March; I don't think he is going to put any more up. Edit: swan, you posted in the wrong thread lol.
I have something that looks like this: Monday August 26 Partial day for students Tuesday August 27 First full day of school for all students Do I mark Monday, August 26th as a partial day or the first day? If I mark it partial, would I mark August 27th as the first day?
Ok, so I have this one I'm doing that I accidentally forgot calendar end date so have to redo, which is okay cause I have a question. The last date of school is listed as "Tentative" in case snow days are used. Should I still use that one, or the last possible date?
You would mark August 26th as the first day of school. Each day can only have one value so just ignore the partial part. I have an email from him explaining this, let me look for it.
I have a couple of questions about these calendars. If the calendar doesn't list a last day do we leave it blank and leave a comment? Also for the last day of the calendar do we put the last day of the month or do we put the last day that teachers are done? I have been putting the last day of the month on each one. this is my first time doing these as well. Thanks in advanced.
You have to input a last day or the calendar doesn't submit properly. If you're talking about last day of school, look for something like end of semester or end of quarter if it doesn't explicitly say Last day of school. It is less important where you mark last day of calendar, but generally you would mark the last day of the month on the furthest month shown. So if June 2014 is the last month shown but the Last Day of School was in May 2014, you would mark Last day of Calendar on June 30th. There is a lot more leeway for First Day of Calendar and Last Day of Calendar. This is what Dustin told us when we worked on the calendars back in March.
If it doesn't list a last day, I've been guestimating by looking at either testing dates or the last teacher inservice day. Usually the last teacher inservice day will follow the last day of school for students. If I make a guess at a day, I'll leave a note in the comments about it, submit, and move on. Sometimes I'll run across calendars that have stuff listed up until something like January and then...nothing. With something like that I usually pick something like May 23 as the last day and am sure to make note of it in the comments section. As for "last day of calendar" I don't think it really matters as long as it is past the all of the marked dates on the calendar. If it shows an actual calendar then I put the last day of the month where there are school activities as the last day of the calendar. If the calendar you're looking at is in a list format and the last event is something like "May 28-Teacher Inservice Day", then I'll mark May 29 as the "last day of calendar".
