You can use days off to record holidays, non-teaching days, and other occasions when school is not in session. Renaissance uses this information to calculate the number of actual school days in the school year or a reporting period; this number is used for Accelerated Reader when calculating the percent of the marking period completed in the TOPS Report and when making recommendations for point goals.
