I don't think that Ruby began attending to Beacon right after Ozpin invited her. Since Ruby said: My sister is starting this year. I assume that Ruby and Yang were on vacation.

From The Shining Beacon to The Badge and the Burden, it took at least 3 days for the arrival at Beacon, another for the initiation in the Emerald Forest, and the first day of school.

Glynda said It's been weeks now in Jaunedice so I guess it hasn't been a month since they started attending Beacon. She also said that the Vytal Festival was a few months away.

And during The Stray, people are getting ready for the Vytal Festival so those few months away already passed.

I think that Volume 1 happened between 3-4 months.
