It should first be established that *Diary of a Troubled Sixth Grader* takes place over a little over two weeks, from Thursday (two days before Zach says "Today's Saturday, but am I sleeping in? Not a chance") to two Thursdays later, the date of the jamboree.
This said, the main events of *Diary of a Troubled Sixth Grader* begin on Thursday when he receives detention and loses his scooter, then "tomorrow morning" he walks to school with his friends and sees the play of *Kidnapped* that night.
The next day is a Saturday, and since it's "mid-April" at the end of the two week period, and the year is 2014, the only possible date we can place this event on is April 5. This is maintained by Zach saying "but I still had Sunday...and a guaranteed fool-proof plan" indicating it is April 6.
On Monday (April 7) the Math Bee roster is announced and it's to happen on the weekend, April 11-13, giving that as the time of Steven Thompson's absence.
After school on the same day, Zach takes his comics to Next Generation, but after he is grounded, he says "it's been a week already!" Seven days after April 8 is April 15. After Zach consults with Michelangelo VII the following day, it says the jamboree's "tomorrow" making it a Wednesday. The jamboree is on Thursday, in April's middle week, making it April 17.
