The student calendar is a fast and reliable way for you to find and keep track of your tasks. You can access this by clicking Calendar from the left-hand menu.
There are two tabs within your Calendar.
My calendar
The default student calendar loads the current week's homework. From here, you will be able to search for homework by applying filters relating to date, teacher, subject, class, year group, and type of homework task.
If you need to locate homework issued or due on a date before or after the current week, please click the arrow buttons to navigate to another week. You can also use the date picker to locate homework from a specific date. Press Today to return to the current week.
Tasks display as a rectangle that is stretched from its issue date through to its due date. The colours of the rectangles correspond to the type of task you need to complete:
The colours will appear solid before the task reaches its due date. Once the due date has passed, the colour will appear faded.
The homework box will show the title of the homework, the class, subject, and teacher who set it. Click on the box in order to see the homework description and any attachments, if applicable.
School Calendar
The school calendar shows all current and past tasks that have been set across the school in boxes.
There are a range of filters at the top of the calendar that you can use to narrow down tasks based on:
Year group
Task type
Subject
Teacher
Class
You can use multiple filters in conjunction with one another to help find tasks you're looking for.
Beneath these filters, you can also find a date picker and directional arrows which allow you to travel back and forth through previous weeks to see historical tasks.
Please find below a description of the different features of the school calendar:
Brightly coloured boxes -
These boxes indicate currently active tasks on the date that they were issued.
The colours represent different types of tasks including assignments, differentiated tasks, quizzes etc.
You can click 'Homework key' on the top right corner of your calendar to help you get to grips with different task colours.
Counters in the corners of boxes -
If you see a black circle with a number inside on the corner of an active task box, this is a live countdown indicating how many days are left until the due date of this task.
If you see a box without a counter on it, this means that the due date is today.
Faded coloured boxes -
These boxes indicate tasks that were previously active and issued on this date that have now passed their due date.
Grey boxes with a coloured outline (seen on future dates) -
These boxes indicate the approaching due date of active tasks; for every coloured task box showing the issue date of a task, there is a corresponding grey box showing this tasks due date.
Faded grey boxes with a coloured outline -
These boxes indicate past due dates of tasks that are no longer active.
