How do I add our school's term dates onto SOLAR?

What do I need to know before adding my term dates onto SOLAR?

SOLAR requires term dates in order for features like progression and reporting to function.

It's very important that term dates are added correctly.

1. Go to Admin>Lists>Terms and click 'Add Term' and add the term name.

Terms need to be added sequentially so the first term would be 'Autumn Term'.

Note: Terms must contain the word 'Term' so cannot just be Autumn, Spring, Summer. If your school uses 6 terms then these should be named Autumn Term 1, Autumn Term 2 etc.

2. Choose the correct academic year from the drop-down list

3. Click into the 'Start Date' box and change the year if necessary by clicking on the Month Header

Then use the direction arrows to change the year.

Then select the correct month and date.

Repeat these steps for the term end date.

Important. Term dates cannot overlap or end and then start on the same date.
