You can override the add_view, change_view and changelist_view model admin methods.

from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin

class MyUserAdmin(UserAdmin):

    def add_view(self, request, form_url='', extra_context=None)
        extra_context = extra_context or {}
        extra_context['Sched_today'] = date.today()
        return super(MyUserAdmin, self).add_view(request, form_url, extra_context)

It is important to subclass UserAdmin, otherwise you will have problems with passwords. Remember to unregister the User model first before registering your own model admin.

admin.site.unregister(User)
admin.site.register(User, MyUserAdmin)
