View the Calendar & a Week

Calendar in the top bar has two views: Semester and Week. Where the Semester Schedule shows the abstract weekly pattern, these show real dates and real lessons.

The semester view

/admin/calendar.php is deliberately not a month grid — a month grid wastes most of its space on a program that meets one day a week. Instead it lists every class date in the semester chronologically: class days in green, breaks and holidays in purple with their title (“Holiday Week” — the class dates CSV’s Notes column), each with its hours and locations. Locations that share a date and title are listed together; a date appears twice when its locations disagree. Clicking any date opens that week.

The weekly view

/admin/calendar_week.php?date=… is the schedule-grid shape for one real week (Sunday–Saturday, with Previous/Next), showing actual lessons and hold-block occurrences instead of the standing pattern. The differences from the abstract grid all follow from “real”:

• Cancelled lessons don’t appear — their slot is genuinely free here. (The family and teacher still see them, marked cancelled.)
• Cells are placed by each lesson’s effective teacher and location — substitutes and one-week room changes included. A substitute who has no regular column this semester gets a temporary one, so nothing ever vanishes off the edge of the grid.
• Status notes ride on each cell: Missed / Attended, Time moved (from what time), Substitute teacher: ….
• The color code is simpler than the schedule grid’s — no balance colors: scheduled = pastel blue, substitute = pastel orange, missed = white italic, hold block = grey.
• An empty week still draws the grid — that’s precisely when you want to click a slot and put something in it.

Clicking a lesson

The lesson modal collects the per-occurrence operations, each covered in its own page:

• Length — this week only (Change a Lesson’s Duration)
• Attendance — not marked / attended / missed
• Substitute teacher (Assign a Substitute)
• Location — this week only
• Cancel lesson — its own red button, since it can’t be undone (Cancellations & One-Off Changes)
• A link to the student’s page — notes, parents, and charges live there.

Saving applies the changes in sequence and stops at the first refusal (length and substitute go first, since they’re the two that can be refused by a conflict).

Clicking an empty cell, and dragging

An empty cell adds a one-off lesson or hold block on that date only (see Cancellations & One-Off Changes). Press Edit to drag a lesson to another time — or onto another teacher’s column, which makes that teacher the substitute for the week (see Move a Lesson’s Time). Grey hold-block occurrences can be clicked to retime, retitle, or remove just that week.
