If it focuses on the bigger events, I guess that could work.

We know that Volumes 1-3 cover their first year at Beacon.

Volume 1 was their first semester.

Volume 2 was during their second semester.

Volume 3 was at the end of their first year, considering Ruby said, in Best Day Ever, that the tournament was at the end of the year. Volume 3 takes place during autumn, and the very end of End of the Beginning takes place in winter.

Since Beginning of the End takes place about 6 months before the first episode, that means the Black Trailer takes place about 6 months before episode 1 as well.
