School districts and charters electing to provide 200 days of instruction must submit an application to the Arizona Department of Education (ADE) by June 15th. Application forms should be submitted through HelpDesk.
School Finance uses the 100th day (or 200th day where applicable) of each school’s calendar to calculate average daily membership (ADM). To support ADM calculation, AzEDS requires that all schools submit one 5-day or 4-day calendar. The required 5-day or 4-day calendar is considered the school’s primary calendar. Every District or charter must upload a primary calendar, and then up to 3 additional 4-day or 3-day calendars for preschool (PS) or kindergarten (KG) may be submitted if needed.
To request approval for calendars beyond the defaults described above, please complete the Calendar Exemption Form and attach it to an Account Analyst Support Request within the HelpDesk application.
Once your request is approved, you’ll receive notice from School Finance to coordinate uploading your new calendar(s) through your SIS to AzEDS.
HB 2862 allows a school district or charter to adopt an Instructional Time Model (ITM) to meet instructional hour requirements through things like remote instruction, project-based learning, mastery-based learning, weekend courses, and evening courses. School districts and charters should use the Instructional Time Model Template for School Districts and Charter Schools to report Instructional Time Models to the department.
