How to use this page
Start with your zone, then decide if you want to align with school breaks or avoid them
This page helps families read the calendar faster. The planner becomes useful once you want to test a real month with your own leave budget and overlap settings.
Start by picking the right zone. The detailed period cards stay below only for the selected zone, which keeps the page shorter.

Practical rule: if a month already contains school holidays, decide early whether you want to extend them, avoid them, or simply tolerate overlap. That choice changes the value of the same bridge.
