School Day Event Codes are recorded on the Calendar page. Each date in a school's Calendar, and/or in a track's Calendar, can be associated with symbols to indicate the date is a Holiday or Weather Day, for example. Additionally, the same field can be used for a School Day Event Code. When circumstances dictate that Calendar dates are reported to the state for special circumstances, the codes will be made available for each date on the Calendar page. 

COVID-19 School Day Event Codes

Two School-Day-Event-Codes from the C208 code table were provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) for use during the 2020-2021 school year. These codes should be used to indicate if a campus is closed due to either of the following reasons: 

• COVID-19: Restricted Access to On-Campus Instruction – TEA Approved Reason 
• COVID-19: Restricted Access to On-Campus Instruction – Reason Other than TEA Approved Reason 

The codes will be reported in the CalendarDateExtension complex type in the EdOrgCalendar file in the PEIMS Summer Submission in 2020-2021. After the codes are reported, they may be verified using the TSDS “PDM3-116-003 Campus Calendar Minutes Detail" report.
