Calendar entries and events

The school calendar

The calendar is a shared view of all school events, visible to teachers and parents.

Creating an event

1. Go to the Calendar tab on your school dashboard.
2. Click Create event or click on a date.
3. Fill in:
   • Title -- a short name for the event.
   • Date and time -- when the event starts and ends.
   • Location -- where the event takes place (optional).
   • Description -- additional details.
   • Visibility -- school-wide or specific classrooms.

Event visibility

• School-wide events are visible to everyone at the school.
• Classroom events are only visible to teachers and parents in that classroom.

Recurring events

For events that repeat (weekly meetings, monthly gatherings):

1. When creating an event, check Repeats.
2. Choose the frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly).
3. Set an end date or number of occurrences.

Calendar feeds

Parents and teachers can subscribe to the school calendar from their personal calendar app. The iCal feed URL is available from the calendar page.

Managing events

• Edit an event to change its details.
• Delete an event to remove it from the calendar.
• Cancel an event to keep it visible but marked as cancelled.

Tips

• Add important dates (parent-teacher conferences, holidays, early dismissals) at the start of each term.
• Use classroom-specific events for things like field trips that only involve one group.
• Keep event descriptions brief but informative.
