Introduction
This article explains how to set / update the dates of your terms within the MIS based on your needs. Whilst the majority of schools divide the year into three terms, with each term divided into half terms, the dates that these fall may vary.
Any changes made to term dates will affect attendance figures.
If your school uses Sonar Tracker, which is integrated into JoinUp, and you want to change your school dates, contact us. Changing term dates from the MIS does not update your school's term dates in Sonar Tracker.
