Set up periods, breaks, and rotation days
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 7 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to set up periods, breaks, and rotation days
- 1Click Schedule under Learning in the sidebar
- 2Click "Open setup" on the Setup line above the schedule grid — Class periods and Breaks & holidays live behind it
- 3Click Add period on the Class periods card, enter the Name, Start and End times, and click Add period
- 4Periods are optional: when you schedule a class you can pick a period to fill its times
- 5Click Add break on the Breaks & holidays card — the dialog is titled "Add break / holiday" — enter the Name and Start date (leave End date blank for a single day), then click Add break
- 6Breaks are no-school days: the planner, calendar and today's strip all skip them
- 7Schools on an A/B rotation also see an A/B days card here with Auto-assign (see "Switch to a block rotation (A/B day) schedule")
