🏫 School Days Counter: How Many School Days Are Left

How to use it

1. 1. Enter the term dates

   Choose the first and the last day of your school year or term. The tool starts with a September to June year, so change both dates to match yours.

2. 2. Tick the weekdays that count

   Monday to Friday are ticked. Untick a day you do not teach, or tick Saturday if you do. The names follow the language of the page.

3. 3. List your days off

   Write one date or one range per line, year first, for example 2026-12-21 to 2027-01-01. Holidays, trips and sick days all go here. Days outside the term are ignored.

4. 4. Press Count school days

   You see the total, the days done up to today, the days left, the percent done and which school day today is. A line tells you if today is a day off or outside the term.

Ideas for class and home

• Checking a required number of days

  Where a set number of school days is expected, enter your calendar and your breaks to see whether you reach it, and how many are left if you fall short.

• Pacing a curriculum

  Divide the lessons in a book by the school days left to see how many lessons a day you need. Count again after a holiday or an unplanned week off.

• Planning a term break

  Add a possible week away as a range of days off and press the button again. The school days left change at once, so you can compare plans before you book.

• A countdown for the class

  Show the number of school days left on a class screen. Children enjoy watching the percent done grow, and it makes the end of the year feel close.
