Day Events

Below is the list of Standard Codes used in North Carolina, along with example Codes and Names for the associated Day Events.

The Code and Name of a Day Event are determined by the PSU. Any Day Event that represents shortened instructional time or non-instructional time must be assigned the appropriate Standard Code.

More than one Day Event may be associated with the same Standard Code. However, each Day Event must have a unique Code and Name.

PSUs may also create Day Events for local use. If a local Day Event does not indicate shortened instructional time or non-instructional time, a Standard Code is not required. For example, “First Day of School” may be used as a local calendar indicator and does not define instructional time.
