ACADEMIC YEAR MANAGEMENT

One place to set your whole school calendar

Define your academic year, then divide it into the grading periods that fit your school — quarters, semesters, or trimesters.

Create a named academic year (like "2026–2027") with start and end dates, then add as many terms or grading periods as your school uses. Each period gets its own date range, so your calendar reflects exactly how your small school or co-op runs.

Once your calendar is set, every other part of NavEd snaps into place. Grades are recorded against the right term, attendance rolls up to the correct period, and end-of-term reports pull from the dates you defined — no manual sorting or cross-referencing needed.

  • Flexible term structures — Support quarters, semesters, trimesters, or any custom grading period your school uses.
  • Date-bound grading periods — Assign precise start and end dates to each period so records are always filed to the right term.
  • Automatic alignment — Grades, attendance, and reports all link to the active period without any extra setup.
  • Multi-year history — Keep prior academic years on file so transcripts and records stay accurate across every school year.
