OpenSIS: Creating School Periods
Follow these Instructions
To access this page choose School Setup >> Periods
This page allows you to setup your school's individual class periods. The OpenSIS installation script creates a group of default periods. Update these periods to match yours and delete the extra periods created during installation if necessary.
Middle and high schools will likely have multiple periods in a school day, where elementary schools may have only one period (called All Day) or perhaps three (All Day, Morning, and Afternoon). If required, you can add new periods very easily. To add a period, fill in the period's title, short name, sort order, and length in minutes in the empty fields at the bottom of the periods list and click the "Save" button.
To modify a period, click on any of the period's information, change the value, and click the "Save" button. To delete a period, click the delete icon (X) next to the period you want to delete. You will be asked to confirm the deletion.
