School year milestone strip

This school-year milestone strip gives students and families a compact view of the main academic dates. It starts with foundation units, then places early assessments before the autumn break. The spring term is organized around a project launch, a period for research and drafting, and final presentations. The horizontal layout makes the progress through the year easy to scan in a class slide or planning sheet. Use it when the goal is to explain the rhythm of the year rather than list every lesson. Keep assignment rubrics, daily activities, and individual feedback in the course materials where students can act on them.
