Parts of the page — Calendar
1. The **Calendar** heading, with name · class · roll under it; with more than one child, **Choose a student**. 2. The month calendar, with arrows at the top to change month. 3. The chosen day's items.
> **Remember:** the school's weekly off days, and which day the week starts on, follow your school's own rules.

## How to know you are looking at the right thing
Each item has its type written beside it:
| What it says | What it means |
| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Holiday** | The school is closed |
| **Exam** | An exam day |
| **Event** | A school event |
| **Meeting** | A meeting, for example a parents' meeting |
| **Deadline** | The last day to hand something in |
| **Make-up school day** | Classes on an off day, to make up for an earlier holiday |
Items that run for several days (for example a week-long holiday) show on every one of those days.
Only items the school has published and made visible to everyone appear here. Items kept for staff only (for example a teachers' meeting) do not.

## Other situations
### See what is on one day
1. Tap a day in the calendar.
→ Everything on that day appears below, each with its name and type.
In the current month, today is chosen at the start; in any other month, the 1st. If you tap a day of the neighbouring month, the calendar moves to that month and the day stays chosen.
### See another month
Tap the arrows at the top of the calendar to go to the month before or after. The back button on your phone returns you to the month you looked at before.
### See another child's calendar
With more than one child, tap a name in the **Choose a student** row at the top. When you change child, you get that child's class items, because one class's exams may not match another's. With one child this row does not appear.
This page shows only items the school has tied to your child's class. An item the school did not tie to any class (for example a holiday entered for the whole school with no class chosen) does not show here.

## Who can do what
| Role | See the calendar | Change |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------- | ------ |
| Parent | Items tied to the chosen linked child's class | No |
| Student | Items tied to their own class | No |
**Parent:** you see only this school's published items. If an item is for a particular class, you see it only when one of your linked children is in that class. You never see staff-only items.
**Student:** the same rule, using your own class.
The school adds and publishes items from the [**Seeing, adding and subscribing to holidays and events in the calendar**](/schoolmanagerp-docs/en/students/calendar.md) page.
