   * An elementary school creates a small homeroom attendance period to take attendance only one time in the morning. This homeroom period could be 15 minutes. Therefore a full-day would translate to 15 minutes and half-day to 7 minutes.
   * A secondary school or any school taking attendance for each periods. Then to get your full-day minutes you would add the total minutes for each period of the day as you configured them in Periods. The half-day could be half those total minutes or you could define them as all the total minutes of the first 4 periods out of a total of 7 periods in the day for example.
+==== Creating Periods (when they differ by grades) ====
+Sometimes a school will have different period timings for different grades. For example, Grade ECE their sets of periods, Grade 1 to 5 has their sets of period times and grade 6 to 8 also have their own period times. The correct way to do this is to put all combination of periods as detailed in the screenshots below. DO NOT use the feature "Block/Rotation Day" for this use case.

+One by one create all the combination of periods of your school clearly identifying which grades it applies to (e.g. Period 1 (ECE) is the Period one times for the ECE students, etc.)

+===== Course special use cases =====
+Every now and then you may encounter special cases that require slightly different setup then mentioned in the https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#course_manager above. They will be discussed in following course sections.
+==== Two courses at the same time ====
+Some schools combine two courses into the same period and classroom. For example, Reading and Writing are two different courses with each their grades and slot in a Student Report Card. But they are taught in the same period essentially together. In this case, you simply enable Allow Student Conflict and Allow Teacher Conflict as shown below for courses taught at the same time in the same place.

+And then you would simply schedule students and teacher in both the courses just as you would normal ones.

 The typical work process to go through just before the rollover should be something like this:
-  - Make sure you have transferred out of school any student that has transferred to another school (within FSM or internationally) as detailed in https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#student_transfer_out
+  - Make sure you have transferred out of school any student that has transferred to another school (within your country's own schools or internationally) as detailed in https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#student_transfer_out
   - Make sure you have dropped out of school any student that has officially dropped as detailed in https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#student_dropout
   - Make sure that all attendance have been entered for the whole school year as detailed in https://docs.pacific-emis.org/doku.php?id=sis_user_manual#attendance. This should have been done already if the work has been done on time throughout the year.
