Note: A child may be assigned more than one schedule, each with its own Start and End dates, although the dates cannot overlap.

  1. Choose a Template or enter a Custom Schedule.
    a. To assign a Schedule Template (or use one as a starting point) select it from Schedule Name list (where it initially says “Custom Schedule”) and make any changes needed for this child. If you make a change, the connection to the original template is lost and the Schedule Name changes back to “Custom Schedule”.
