Student Term Records

Student term records are automatically created for the student up to the end of the student grade_span.  The student's grade span is determined by the student' s grade level. 

When the student is enrolled, student term records are created for the student for the entire grade span.  However, if a student enters in the middle of a grade span, student term records are not automatically created for the past terms of the grade span. 

PEMS identifies the starting school term record based on the student's start date.  The first student term record is created and linked to the school term of the starting term.

Term Labels

The user adds one “term label” record to represent each term in a general school year.  The number of records in the table equals the number of terms in a year. There are start days and start months fields in the term label records, but there are no actual years since the term label is general in nature and applies to any year. The Terms records are created based on the term label template.

Terms (or School Terms)

Terms are a list of actual terms the school is/was/will be in operation.  They have a start date and an end date, and are associated with an Academic Year and a term label.
