Examples: Enrollment and edit dates; disciplinary actions; etc.
Other Uses: Calculating average daily attendance (ADA), average daily membership (ADM), and

Processing Period 1 – Supports October 1 (MFP) SIS Data Collection
Processing Period 2 – Supports LEADS Data Collection
Processing Period 3 – Supports February 1 (MFP) SIS Data Collection
Actual Calendars: Re-opens early May thru late July / early August.
