This is according to r/SavedByTheBell (https://www.reddit.com/r/SavedByTheBell/comments/1kcq330/senior_year_chronology_tentative/):
The Fight (6376) - First day of senior year.
Best Summer of My Life (6460) - Clips episode about the summer that occurs sometime during the first week of school. Might fit during "The Fight". Taped toward the end of the Tori batch but references Kelly and Jessie (unseen and unheard) in a phone call. Honestly skippable. The framing sequence doesn't even have a coda.
The New Girl (6451) - Introduces Tori. She hates Zack, then kind of likes him, but he friend-zones her.
Teen-Line (6452) - Zack dates Melissa. I could have easily moved this to after the Zack/Tori episodes, but I wanted to retain the taped order as much as possible.
Masquerade Ball (6453) - Tori starts dating Zack. Lisa thinks Zack might be her secret admirer. Must occur before "The Bayside Triangle".
The Will (6457) - Yeah, Zack says the girls are ruining one of their "last" dances, but they're fighting over money to fund sports teams, including football. It makes sense only as occurring in the fall. Tori and Zack are still dating.
Class Rings (6458) - This is the last episode where Tori and Zack are (explicitly) still together. I decided to bunch these episodes close together, so Zack doesn't look like a cheater.
Student Teacher Week (6379) - It's still football season. Zack is openly flirting with girls during his position as student principal.
Drinking and Driving (6454) - Occurs during Homecoming (typically in October).
The Teachers' Strike (6380) - Occurs during winter break, according to Zack, but they also have to find a way to get out of school (???).
Isn't It Romantic? (6384) - Clips episode. Occurs on Valentine's Day (Sunday, February 14, 1992). Kelly makes it sound like she and Zack are together, even though they don't officially get back together until prom. Taped after "Graduation", so that might explain the relationship snafu.
Earthquake! (6455) - Zack has a calendar in this episode, but it's utterly illegible. He and Tori help deliver the Beldings' son.
Screech's Spaghetti Sauce (6382) - Could go almost anywhere, honestly. They taped it between the prom and graduation episodes, but I moved it up earlier for better pacing later on. This feels like an "earlier" episode.
Slater's Sister (6456) - I don't recall any time indicators during this episode. Yeah, it's kind of an odd time for JB to show up, but so would any time other than the first day of school be. It's not even clear if she's attending Bayside.
Day of Detention (6461) - Another "could go anywhere" episode. It was the last Tori episode taped, but I moved it up earlier.
The Bayside Triangle (6377) - Occurs around March-April per how these things are timed in the real world. Lisa gets accepted into FIT, and she and Zack start dating.
Wrestling with the Future (6378) - Occurs around March-April for the same reason. A direct reference is made to "The Bayside Triangle". Zack and Lisa aren't (explicitly) dating anymore. Ignore the wall poster for the "Ski Club Trip". It also shows up in "Graduation". Bayside High is just lax about updating its posters (hell, the poster for yearbook help seen during senior year is still on the wall in 2003!).
School Song (6459) - This episode feels like we're getting close to the end.
The Senior Prom (6381) - Occurs around April-May per real-world timing.
Graduation (6383) - The gang graduates from high school. Tori's probably got a ****** seat in the back row or something.
The Fight (6376) - First day of senior year.
