My county has several half days each year and it would be nice to have the option to create a template of the class schedule for just those days and then add it as an event. That way the times for classes can be different just for those days and I don't have to manually change each class time for all of those days.

My district has half days throughout the year. I wish I could apply the No School Option but only for the elected times. This way only a portion of the day would be shown.

In my school board we have switch days. For example, a particular Wednesday may run on a Friday schedule. I would like to be able to switch out the Wednesday schedule for the Friday schedule.

First/last day of school, midterms, finals, half-days, snow-day makeups, all-classes-meet days, etc. Schools that cycle often have days whose schedules are different than usual, but are used regularly throughout a term for various reasons. It would be great if you could label a day as an "alternate schedule" day and then just "add" the classes that actually meet on that day.

When I am adding an event, it just squeezes into a class. I would like to have the option to overlay the event over the classes during that same scheduled time. As an elementary teacher, my day is blocked differently and an assembly or something else my conflict with multiple times.

I'd like to add an event, and if I specify times, overwrite the existing classes that are affected.

At the beginning of the year a teacher can set up a 2 and 3 hour delay schedule. Then when these types of delays occur, the teacher can select the option and the lessons for the day go into the pre-selected times.

It would be great to be able to enter the possible scheduling options, and how they affect each class's time. For example, if I hit the option for an early dismissal, half-day, assembly schedule, etc., the classes would adjust the times without having to enter them individually.

Many districts in use a weekly late start time or early out time one day a week to accommodate professional development time. For example, our district has Tuesday morning late starts and students arrive a half hour later (teachers arrive fifteen minutes earlier on Tuesdays) so teachers have a full hour of professional development/ PLC worktime. Therefore, teachers need to change the start time for their Tuesday morning classes. It would be nice to have a way to change the start time to ONLY Tuesdays (or whatever day of the week a district uses for professional development). Right now the only way to solve this issue is to use the "custom times" option each week, a time consuming fix each week.

Our district has a late start time for students on many, but not all Wednesdays. I'm entering the custom times for each class on those Wednesdays-is there a way to duplicate that custom schedule only on those days it applies to.
Love Planbook.com!

I use the "no school" for Conference Days, opening day. parent-teacher days etc. because I don't want the tediousness of entering those days in each of the individual classes edits.

In addition to being able to customize times for a class due to a school event of some sort, I would like to be able to not just cancel the class, but change the class name because sometimes the classes don't follow the same schedule.

Add to scheduling button option for reoccurring week numbers. Our district for instance has early release on the 1st and 3rd Mondays, so scheduling biweekly would get messed up if there happened to be a 5th monday that month

For example; if afternoon classes were cancelled for teacher work time it would be great if I could check "no school" for just the time period in the afternoon. As it is now if I check "no school" when I add an event it automatically makes the entire day no school
