Usage Note
Escolar is invariable for gender (el año escolar, la vida escolar) but takes plural -es (actividades escolares). It functions purely as an adjective meaning 'of or relating to school'; the noun for a schoolchild is escolar (same form). Do not confuse with universitario, which refers specifically to university level.
Examples
"El calendario escolar empieza en septiembre."
Natural Translation
The school calendar starts in September.
