School

Hijri dates

Updated in 5.20.68

A school that works in the Hijri (Umm al-Qura) calendar reads and types every school day in Hijri, or in both calendars. The day is always kept in Gregorian, so nothing already recorded moves.

The calendar on school screens in Settings

The Hijri day is the Umm al-Qura calendar of the device and the server themselves. Digits stay English: 02/06/1448 AH.

Years and terms in Hijri

On School › Academic years each year and term shows its first and last day in Hijri, and a line says which calendar the school's days are shown in, with Open the setting beside it.

Academic years with their days in Hijri

Type or pick a day in Hijri

Every school date box takes the day as day/month/year in Hijri, for example 05/05/1448. The calendar button beside it opens a month of the Hijri calendar: move with the arrows, press a day, or press Today.

Picking a day in the Hijri calendar

When the first and last day are in, Name it from its dates in Hijri fills the year's Name with its Hijri years, for example 1448–1449. A day that the Hijri calendar does not have (30 in a 29-day month) is refused under the box.

Every school screen

Attendance, homework due, marks and terms, the library's due dates, health visits, behaviour, the canteen and the buses all show the school's days in its calendar, and their reports too.

Homework due in Hijri

With Both, Gregorian then Hijri, each day is written twice: the Gregorian day in your date format, then the Hijri day.

A student's date of birth in both calendars

Certificates and report cards

A certificate or a transcript issued while the school reads Hijri carries its days in Hijri, in English and in Arabic: the date of birth, the days in the words of the template, and the day it was issued. The check page of a paper says its day the same way, and a report card says the day it was printed.

Enrolment certificates in English and Arabic with their days in Hijri
Only the showing and the typing change. Every day is kept, sent, summed and compared in Gregorian, so turning the calendar back to Gregorian shows every day exactly as before. A paper already issued keeps the words it was issued with.
