"Now I am not sure what you mean with first week support, maybe you could
explain that?"
In normal case, the first week is the first week in the year, but the
teachers may want to custom the first week, for example, make the 8th week
as the first week, then the 9th week will be the second week, and so on.
Then the teacher can easily do their work as a custom teaching period!
