EdgeEX — Schedules overview

 Note

Schedules created using the EdgeEX Scheduler apply only to EdgeEX. To create an alternate schedule for Edgenuity courses, reference Managing schedules overview.

 Permission

You must have the permission EdgeEX Manage District Default Course Options, which most District Administrators have by default, to access the scheduler.

District administrators and users with permission can apply temporary schedules for a district or for individual schools to let students continue coursework when educators may be unavailable, such as during school breaks. 

Schedules operate as a temporary overlay on existing sections and enrollments, including those created while the schedule is live. Saved section and enrollment options are not overwritten. School schedules take full priority over overlapping district schedules; when no schedule applies, normal saved options govern.

 Note

Schedules should not be used as a means of permanently changing section and enrollment course options.

When a schedule is live, a banner displays in affected section and enrollment hubs and in EdgeEX Manage Sections. Educators can click Details on the banner to view the active schedule’s details. The options that display under Options in the Hub are the values set before the schedule was in place.

Frequently asked questions

Can schedules be created for a single section or enrollment?
No. Schedules can be made at the district or school level only.
Can teachers modify section or enrollment options during a schedule?
Yes. Teachers can modify section and enrollment options even while a schedule is active. Options set that are not impacted by the schedule will apply immediately. Options set that are currently overridden by the schedule will continue to be overridden until the schedule ends.
How does daylight savings time impact schedules? 

EdgeEX schedules follow the local time zone of the school associated with each section, including daylight saving time changes. For district-wide schedules, the start and end times are evaluated separately for each school based on its local time.

There are two scenarios to be aware of:

  • Fall back (clocks move back one hour): When clocks move backward, the hour between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. occurs twice. If a schedule starts during that repeated hour, the schedule may briefly stop applying when the clock resets, then resume when the scheduled start time occurs again.
  • Spring forward (clocks move forward one hour): When clocks move forward, an hour is skipped. If a schedule is set to start or end during that skipped hour, the schedule is expected to reflect the applicable start or end state once local time advances beyond the specified time.

Best practice: To avoid potential interruptions or unexpected timing behavior, administrators should avoid scheduling start or end times during daylight saving time transitions whenever possible.

Will a schedule unlock existing blocked assessments?
No. It does not retroactively change an attempt already prepared under an unlock requirement.
Can a schedule cover several selected schools?
No. Choose the entire district or one school per schedule.
Can an administrator edit or restart a schedule?
No. Edit, clone, and re-enable actions are not supported. An administrator should delete a Planned schedule or cancel a Live schedule, then create a new schedule with an allowed future start.
Does the scheduler support daily or weekly recurrence?
No. Create a separate one-time schedule for each period.
