Start of School

The Start of School process begins after all Beginning of Year tasks have been completed. It includes the work that takes place before students arrive and continues through the first ten instructional days of the school year.

During this time, PSUs verify that student, staff, scheduling, attendance, grading, and other important information is correct. Schools should also follow any local procedures to help ensure a successful start to the school year.

The Start of School articles provide guidance for each phase of the first ten instructional days. Each article highlights the tasks to complete, information to verify, and common issues that may need to be resolved. Links to related articles are included when additional instructions are available.
