Cycle calendar schedule

Problem Description

Our teaching schedule is weird. We are on a 7 day cycle where each class meets 5 times during that 7 day cycle, and the time at which they meet changes every day in the cycle. It looks like this: Day 1: ABCDF Day 2: EFGAC Day 3: BCDEG Day 4: FGABD Day 5: CDEFA Day 6: GABCE Day 7: DEFGB

While the schedule promotes a more equitable schedule so that one class isn't always in the morning, it also makes it really annoying to plan if you teach multiple of the same class, figuring out what homework is due what day for what class.

part of the problem is that the school populates our google calendar with our class, but it is hard to lesson plan on there. i could do it on veracross but there is no easy way to copy to another class or view everything easily

TLDR: a better way to lesson plan for a school on the cycle calendar system
