#2: Attendance Calendars
**Enhancements In Progress** To improve the user experience and site functionality, some embedded documents are being updated to linked buttons.
The Attendance Calendar screen is used to set the days that classes are in session, as well as set school holidays or in-service days. Setting up the attendance calendar correctly is imperative for attendance to function properly in Focus. If your school uses a rotation schedule, the rotation days are also set on the attendance calendar.
Next, you need to update your school calendar for the upcoming school year. If you have rotations in your schedule, you need to mark each school day with the appropriate rotation day. You need to ensure you have a balanced rotation day schedule if you have different classes meeting on different rotation days. Get approval from the appropriate level director on your calendar and rotation days. Once approved, you can make the changes if you have the appropriate profile rights. A copy of your calendar also needs to be submitted as a support ticket to ithelp@ecsdfl.us so it can be uploaded into FOCUS for documentation.
