Configure day rotations, A/B weeks, or multi-week cycles for schools that don't follow a simple Monday-to-Friday pattern.
What are rotations?
Rotations let you define schedules that don't follow a simple Monday-to-Friday pattern. If your school uses day rotation, A/B weeks, or multi-week cycles, rotations handle it.
Set a rotation type (day, multi-week, A/B)
Click Set Rotation on the timetable page. Choose from day rotation, weekly rotation, or multi-week rotation depending on how your school structures its schedule.
How rotation days map to dates
EMStudio counts active school days from your semester start date and maps them to rotation slots. Blocked days (holidays, breaks) are automatically skipped in the count.
Set up bi-weekly or alternating schedules
For classes that alternate weeks, set your rotation to Weekly with a duration of 2 weeks. You can then set each week's schedule independently.
Change your rotation mid-semester
You can update your rotation type at any time. Your existing lessons and schedule data are preserved — only future dates are affected.
